If you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make grilling recipe, Caribbean Pork Kabobs are a must-try. This recipe is inspired by the flavorful and spicy cuisine of the Caribbean islands, where pork is a common and popular meat choice. The secret to this recipe is the marinade made with orange and lime juices, which adds a zesty and sweet taste to the tender pork cubes. Whether you're having a barbecue, a potluck, or a weeknight dinner, these kabobs are sure to impress and satisfy everyone's appetite.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix together orange juice, lime juice, brown sugar, thyme, nutmeg, cloves, and cayenne pepper to make the marinade.
2.	Add pork cubes into the marinade and mix well to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours, refrigerated.
3.	Preheat the grilling pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated pork cubes onto skewers, leaving some space between each piece.
4.	Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until fully cooked and slightly charred on all sides.
5.	Serve hot garnished with chopped fresh herbs and lime wedges if desired.
