PROS

These kabobs are a delicious and easy meal option for summer BBQs.

The apricot glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the juicy and tender pork.

They can be easily customized with different spices or vegetables.

CONS

The glaze may burn quickly on the grill, so it’s important to turn the kabobs frequently and brush with glaze.

Using wooden skewers may require soaking to prevent burning.

Overcooking the pork can result in a dry and tough texture.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Pork loin is a great source of protein and provides essential vitamins and minerals such as niacin, thiamine, and selenium.
The apricot glaze contains antioxidants and can help boost the immune system and improve digestion.
However, the glaze may also contain added sugars which should be consumed in moderation.
