The glaze in this main dish is sweet and spicy. It adds just the right flavor note to the grilled chicken thighs, turkey sausage, and pork tenderloin skewers which char and begin to caramelize as they cook thanks to the sugar in the preserves. If you’re using wood skewers, it’s a good idea to soak them in water for 20 to 30 minutes prior to grilling to make sure they don’t burn in case of a flame-up on the grill. To make this a meal, thread some red and yellow bell peppers and red onion on skewers and grill them alongside the meat. They’ll take about 10 minutes to cook.

Unsalted butter

1 Tbsp

Apricot preserves

¾ cup(s)

Soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; add preserves, soy sauce, vinegar, mustard and ginger. Cook until bubbly, stirring frequently, about 5 to 7 minutes; remove 2 tablespoons of glaze to a small dish, set both saucepan and dish aside and cover to keep warm.
  2. Thread pork onto two metal skewers; season pork and chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill pork, chicken and sausage until finished, turning once or twice, and brushing meats frequently with glaze from saucepan during last 2 minutes of cooking, about 8 to 9 minutes for pork, 10 minutes for chicken and 12 minutes for sausage. Make sure to flip meats often during last 2 minutes of cooking to help glaze stick. Just before serving, brush meats with 2 tablespoons reserved glaze, sprinkle with cilantro and serve. Yields 1 chicken thigh, 1 pork cube and 1/2 sausage per serving.
