Maple Pork And Peach Skewers Recipes

Steps:

• Blend all the ingredients for the marinade except the salt. Put the pork cubes in a large freezer bag, then put the marinade on top of the pork. Remove excess air from the bag and blend it well so all the pork cubes are covered in the marinade. Put the bag in the fridge for 6 hours or for the night.
• Use metal skewers to do this recipe.
• Set your oven on Broil. Put the pork & vegetables that you selected (I recommend bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc.) on your metal skewers. Put in the oven for 10-20 min (it depends of the force of your oven). Turn the skewers half-time so they'll cooked uniformly. Salt to taste before serving. If you salt the skewers before cooking them, the meat will loose a lot of juices, we don't want that! ;-).
• Serve on hot cooked rice or couscous.
• Bon appétit!

Steps:

• Thread a small chunk each of Black Forest ham, weisswurst or bratwurst, and slab bacon onto 12 small skewers. Bake on a foil-lined baking sheet at 450 degrees F until just starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Mix 3 tablespoons maple syrup with a pinch of cayenne; brush on both sides of the skewers and sprinkle generously with coarsely ground black pepper. Continue baking until the bacon is crisp, 7 to 9 more minutes. Brush with the remaining syrup mixture and sprinkle with more black pepper.

Steps:

• To prepare the pineapple, pull off the green top by "unscrewing" it. Reserve the best leaves for decoration by placing them in cold water, trimming them if needed to make their shape a little more perfect.
• With a large sharp knife, cut the peel off the pineapple and halve it lengthwise. Reserve half the pineapple for another use. Cut the remaining pineapple in half lengthwise and cut out the core. Cut the pineapple into 1 1/2-inch thick slices and then into chunks.
• In a bowl, whisk together the syrup and rum, if using. Toss the chunks in the maple syrup and thread them, alternating with blueberries, onto the wooden skewers. Lay the skewers in a shallow dish. Pour the remaining syrup over skewers. Cover and chill. (The skewers can be assembled up to a day in advance.)
• To grill skewers: Brush the fruit 1 more time with maple syrup from the bottom of the dish. Fire up your grill and place the skewers on to cook them, turning occasionally, until caramelized.
• To serve: Place scoops of vanilla ice cream in dessert bowls, arranging 2 pineapple leaves at the back like rabbit ears, then place a skewer across each bowl. Pour any remaining maple syrup over the ice cream and serve immediately.

Steps:

• If using bamboo skewers, soak them in one cup of chardonnay for 30 minutes prior to use.
• Rub pork all over with garlic-pepper seasoning.
• Cut chops into bite-size pieces and place in a glass utility dish.
• Blend maple syrup and Chardonnay. Pour over pork and let marinate for 15 minutes.
• Drain marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil; cook one minute.
• Alternate pork with pieces of peach and onions on skewers.
• Grill over moderate for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with marinade.
• Serve over couscous, garnished with fresh herbs, if desired.
