Ingredients

You'll need 12 wooden or metal skewers for this recipe. (Soak wooden skewers in cold water for 15 minutes before using.) Cut down on prep time by picking up fresh pineapple chunks in the produce department.
1 cup Taste of Inspirations Caribbean Jerk Sauce, divided
2 lb. pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 2" pieces
1 1/4 lb. fresh pineapple, cut into 2" chunks (about 4 cups)
1 red onion, cut into 2" pieces
1 lime, quartered
Sliced green onions, for serving
Grilled Jerk Pork and Pineapple Skewers

Directions

1. Place 1/3 cup jerk sauce in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to cook. Combine remaining 2/3 cup jerk sauce and the pork in a bowl or large resealable plastic bag, then cover bowl or seal bag and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
2. When ready to cook, heat grill to medium-high, then clean and oil grates. Thread pork, pineapple, and onion pieces onto skewers, discarding marinade left in bag.
3. Place skewers on grill, cover, and cook until well marked, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and brush with reserved jerk sauce, then continue to cook until pineapple and onion are tender and thickest pieces of pork register 145 degrees, about 4 more minutes. Transfer to a platter.
4. Grill lime pieces until well marked on cut sides, about 1 minute per side. Arrange around skewers and sprinkle with green onions before serving.
