I've been dreaming of tropical climates and tropical food for what seems like FOREVER. In fact, it was fueling my dreams of grilling out while in the midst of snowfall upon snowfall, freezing day after freezing day.

So...the idea to develop a recipe for grilling specifically using tropical ingredients, was very appealing. Pineapples, mango, kiwi... create something mouthwatering!

Grilled Pork Pineapple Kabobs with Mango Brown Sugar Glaze were born. They will be gracing the top of my charcoal grill many times this season, alternating with our favorite Grilled Chicken Halves and Jalepeno Popper Burgers.

Most of you know that I like recipes that don't take a ton of time, and this is another one to add to that list. It is seriously easy, and I don't overstate that fact.

While this recipe is super simple, do make sure to allow a little bit of time for it. As in- prepare ahead! Prepare the pork a day ahead so it can marinate overnight. You could try to let it go for just a few hours, but I can't attest to how that would turn out. It might be fine. I let my country pork ribs (cut into chunks for kabobs) marinate for about 24 hours. That wasn't my original plan, but it worked out great and so that is what I'm gong with for now on.

The marinade for Grilled Pork Pineapple Kabobs calls for just 3 ingredients added to the chopped up pork: crushed pineapple, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar.

Toss it all in, mix it all up, cover and refrigerate overnight. Just like that.

I had to mix it up in a pretty bowl so I could take a picture. Okay, I didn't have to, but I did. You could just mix it up in a handy dandy ole glass storage container, which is exactly what I put in into as soon as I was done taking pretty food photos!

After letting the pork marinate overnight, it's time to make kabobs. Cut up a fresh pineapple and a couple mango. Reserve one mango to make a glaze for the kabobs.

If you aren't familiar with grilling kabobs, they are so easy to make. Simply alternate ingredients on the skewer. I use reusable metal skewers because I like to grill a lot. There are also wooden skewers available, and you would need to soak those in water prior to preparing your kabobs and grilling.

I love the look of colorful food on the grill! Gorgeous!
