Preparation time: 25 minutes Yield: 2 servings as an entree, 4 as an appetizer Cooking time: 5-7 minutes "Pork and apples have a long history as a happy couple," Schlesinger and Willoughby write in "License to Grill," but they warn readers to watch the glaze carefully. "Any time you add a sweet sauce or glaze to something on the grill, it can go from a golden brown treat to a blackened cinder in a heartbeat." 1. Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer vigorously until the liquid is reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. 2. In a medium bowl, combine the pork cubes, apples, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste, and toss well. Thread the pork and apples alternately onto skewers and grill over a medium-hot fire for 5 to 7 minutes, turning several times. 3. To check for doneness, cut into one of the pieces of pork; it should be just pink in the center.

During the last 30 seconds of cooking, brush the skewers with some of the glaze. Remove the skewers from the fire, drizzle with the remaining glaze, and serve.
