Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Yield: 15 skewers

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp dried thyme leaves

1/2 tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 pork tenderloins, cut into 45 1-inch cubes  (about 3 lb)

1 large red-skinned apple, cored and cut into 15 1-inch chunks

15 cipollini onions, peeled

1/3 cup grainy Dijon mustard

2 tsp pure maple syrup

Recipe Directions:

Preheat grill on setting #4. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper; toss with pork until coated. Alternately thread pork, apple and onion onto 15 6-inch wooden skewers.

Grill, covered and turning as needed, for 15 to 18 minutes or until pork is cooked through.  Transfer to a platter. Stir mustard with maple syrup; serve with kabobs for dipping.

Tip: Cut white onions into chunks, keeping root intact, to replace cipollini onions if desired.
