Pork-and-Pineapple Kebabs
1/2 pound pork tenderloin
1 1/2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp. orange juice
1 Tbsp. grated fresh onion
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/8 tsp. salt
1 dash pepper
1 bay leaf
8 fresh pineapple chunks
1 red bell pepper cut into eight 1 inch pieces
Vegetable cooking spray

Trim the fat from pork, and cut the pork into 8 (1 inch) cubes.

Combine brown sugar and the next 7 ingredients (brown sugar through bay leaf) in a large zip top heavy-duty plastic bag; add the pork cubes. Seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning bag occasionally. (To keep the texture of the pork from becoming mushy, marinate it for no more than 1 hour).
Remove pork from bag, reserving marinade. Discard bay leaf.

Thread 4 pork cubes, 4 pineapple cubes, and 4 bell pepper pieces alternately onto each of 2 (10 inch) skewers.

Prepare grill. Place kebabs on grill rack coated with cooking spray, and cook 14 minutes or until done, turning and basting frequently with reserved marinade.

Yield: 2 servings.
