Ingredients

  • 1 cup orange marmalade
  • 1/3 cup dry sherry or orange juice
  • 4 medium green onions, chopped (1/4 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 20 wooden skewers (6 to 8 inch)

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, mix all ingredients except pork and skewers. Place pork cubes in resealable plastic food-storage bag. Pour half of the marmalade mixture over pork; seal bag. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours, turning bag occasionally. Refrigerate remaining marmalade mixture to use as dipping sauce.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, soak skewers in water 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • 3
    Set oven control to broil. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil or cooking parchment paper; lightly spray foil or paper with cooking spray. Remove pork from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade. Thread 2 pork cubes on end of each skewer. Place in pan.
  • 4
    Broil with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat 5 minutes. Turn skewers; broil about 5 minutes longer or just until pork is no longer pink in center. Meanwhile, heat remaining marmalade mixture in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbly; use as dipping sauce.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make sure to cut the pork into cubes of the same size so the meat will cook evenly.
  • tip 2
    To bake skewers, line and spray pan as directed. Bake skewers in pan 450°F for 10 to 15 minutes.
