Prepare Ingredients:
- Cut the boneless pork loin, pineapple, and red bell peppers into 1-inch cubes or pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk together the guava jelly, lime juice, grated ginger, and chopped cilantro. Set aside.
-
Cook Bacon:
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s cooked through but not overly crispy. This should take about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, cut the bacon into 1-inch slices.
-
Assemble Kebabs:
- Thread the bacon slices, pork cubes, pineapple chunks, and red bell pepper pieces onto skewers, alternating the ingredients for a colorful presentation.
-
Grill the Kebabs:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the assembled kebabs on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- While grilling, baste the kebabs with the guava jelly mixture, using a brush, to infuse them with extra flavor and moisture.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Garnish with additional chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve hot alongside your favorite sides like rice, couscous, or a fresh salad.
