Grilled Tenderloin and Fresh Summer Fruit Kabobs

A delicious and fresh summer entree that cooks on the grill in minutes.

Serves: 6
Cook Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Smithfield Marinated Pork Tenderloins (any flavor works great)
• 3 firm nectarines
• 3 firm peaches
• 3 firm plums
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 3 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 bamboo skewers (12")

Steps

Heat grill until it's medium-hot. Soak bamboo skewers in water until ready to use. Trim pork tenderloins and cut into 1 1/2" pieces. Each tenderloin should yield approximately 12 pieces. Remove pits from nectarines, peaches and plums and cut each piece of fruit into approximately 4 large slices. In a large bowl toss fruit with melted butter, salt and pepper. Beginning and ending with fruit, thread the bamboo skewers with the fruit and tenderloin pieces, alternating with the meat and different fruit. You should have at least one piece of each fruit on each skewer. If you end up with extra fruit, just thread it on the end. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes until the tenderloin is cooked through. Turn the skewers at least once, but not too many times. The natural juices from the fruit should caramelize while cooking. Remove from grill and place on a platter and garnish with chopped mint.
