These orange marmalade-Dijon mustard glazed kabobs are a delicious change of pace from the usual barbecue fare. Cut all of the sweet potatoes close to the same size so that they'll cook more evenly. This also is important for the red onion and green peppers. The combination of marmalade and mustard makes a tangy and sweet glaze. For best results, brush the glaze onto the kabobs during the last two minutes of cooking. You can repeat this right before removing from the grill. The glaze also tastes delicious with shrimp, pork or salmon. Serve the kabobs over rice or a salad, if desired.
