Ingredients
  

For the Skewers
  • 1 pound Pork (shoulder or tenderloin) Choose shoulder for a richer flavor or tenderloin for a leaner option.
  • 1 large Fresh Pineapple Avoid canned pineapple for better caramelization.
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce Pick your favorite variety for a personal touch.
  • 4-6 pieces Skewers (wooden or metal) Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using.

Equipment

  • grill
  • skewers

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the pork into even cubes, about 1-inch thick, and slice the fresh pineapple into similar-sized chunks.
  2. Combine the pork cubes with your favorite marinade in a large bowl. Let the pork marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge.
  3. Thread the pork and pineapple chunks alternately onto the skewers, aiming for about three of each on every skewer.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F, ensuring the grates are clean.
  5. Cook the skewers for about 15 minutes, rotating every 3-4 minutes and basting with BBQ sauce in the last few minutes.
  6. Check for an internal temperature of 145°F in the thickest pork piece for safety.
  7. Let the skewers rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
