Ingredients
- ½ cup bourbon
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup olive oil plus more for drizzling
- 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary, divided (divided)
- 1 pound pork tenderloin (cut into 1 ½ inch cubes)
- ¾ cup Honey BBQ Sauce (Rufus Teague )
- 2 large peaches (unpeeled)
- 1 green pepper
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 400º.
- In a measuring cup whisk together the bourbon, lemon juice, garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of chopped rosemary. Place ¼ cup of the marinade in a saucepan. Pour the rest in a ziplock bag and add the pork. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- While it is marinating, add the bbq sauce to the reserved marinade in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it begins to boil. Remove from the heat.
- Cut the peaches into 8 slices each and cut the green pepper into 1 ½ inch pieces.
- Remove the pork from the marinade and throw out the marinade. Thread the pork pieces onto metal skewers about ⅛ apart. Salt and pepper the pork.
- Thread the peaches and peppers onto skewers leaving ⅛ inch between each slice. Drizzle the peach and pepper skewers with a tablespoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of rosemary.
- Add all the skewers to the grill. Cook the pork for about 6-8 minutes per side until a meat thermometer registers 140º. Brush half way through with the bbq sauce. Cook the peaches and peppers for about 4 minutes per side until the peppers have softened.
- Remove from grill and serve with BBQ sauce.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- You will have enough BBQ sauce to double the recipe
- Try to use peaches that are firm but ripe so that they don't fall apart when place on the grill.
- Try adding other veggies with the peaches, like red onions or summer squash.
