Rum Glazed Pork, Onion, and Clementine Kebabs

Dinner tonight was so yummy!  I've made a lot of Weight Watcher's recipes in my day, and they used to be horribly bland.  They had absolutely no flavor and the portion sizes were terribly small.  Let me tell you, they have come a long way.  Shortly after I started this year, I bought one of their new cookbooks.  I think a big thing that has helped is the fact that fruit is zero points now.  Tonight we made rum glazed pork, onion, and clementine kabobs.  To go along with it, I made baked sweet potatoes. The recipe calls to have these broiled in the oven, but we did them on the grill and they turned out great!  Here's the recipe.

6 Clementines
2 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons rum
1 whole star anise, broken in half (I couldn't find this so I left it out and this turned out just fine)
1 pound boneless pork loin, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1small red onion, cut into 8 wedges (I used sweet onion)
1 red bell pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teasoon black pepper

To make basting sauce, squeeze 3 clementines to get about 1/3 cup juice.  Transfer juice toa  small saucepan; add brown sugar, rum, and star anise.  Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until liquid reduces to glaze, about 6 minutes.  Remove and discard star anise.

Spray broiler rack with nonstick spray and preheat broiler.

Cut remaining 3 clementines into quarters and thread clementines, pork, onion, and bell pepper alternately onto 8 metal skewers.  Sprinkle kebabs with salt and black pepper.

Arrange kebabs on broiler rack; lightly spray withnonstick spray.  Brush kebabs with half of sauce.  Broil 5 inches from heat, turning once and basting with remaining sauce, until pork is no longer pink in center, about 10 minutes.

This dish is so versitile that you could serve just about anything as a side.  I baked some sweet potatoes...just wrap them in foil, put in a glass baking dish, and pop them in the oven at 350 for about an hour and a half.

Enjoy!
