How to Make Apricot Lamb Kebabs

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup apricot nectar, 1 cup chopped dried apricots, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons golden syrup, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs of 1-inch cubed lamb to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Thread lamb cubes onto skewers, alternating with 1 cup of cubed red onion and 1 cup of cubed bell pepper (any color).
  4. Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat. Cook the kebabs for approximately 8-10 minutes per side, or until the lamb is cooked through and slightly charred, brushing occasionally with the remaining marinade.
  5. While the kebabs cook, simmer the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Drizzle the reduced marinade over the cooked kebabs before serving.
