Honey Pork Tenderloin Kabobs

This one’s for my sister.

You see she loves, and I mean loves, honey mustard.

And honestly this was a new fact to me until just recently; when I went to visit her a few months back and we went to grab lunch at one of our favorite places, Chick-fil-a. She got her chicken sandwich with fries and honey mustard and I got mine with Polynesian sauce and Chick-fil-a sauce. We both then debated which sauces were better and she was honey mustard hands down all the way!

So I know she would love this recipe!

These kabobs are so simple and perfect for summer. Eric’s favorite part was of course the pork, and I loved everything else but unfortunately the peaches. (Boo!) I normally love grilled peaches but I think that the ones I used for this recipe where just still not ripe enough and I really didn’t think the mustard flavor really pared well with them. Next time I make this I will probably do the veggies and pork (because those things benefited greatly from the honey mustard glaze) on skewers by themselves and then grill the peaches on skewers all by themselves with honey drizzled on afterwards.

Ahhh. The tastes of summer!
