Honey Pork Tenderloin Kabobs
In the midst of summer, I tend to grill out just about every evening. To break the habit of hamburgers and hotdogs, I find myself getting creative with kabobs. This recipe for Honey Pork Tenderloin Kabobs ups the ante with a delicious, tangy glaze (thanks to the bourbon, honey, and mustard) and the surprising addition of fresh peaches. It comes to us courtesy of the National Pork Board. Check out their website for more great pork recipes!
