Sweet & Spicy Pork Skewers with Honey Balsamic Glaze
Share
This season has been… busy. The kind of busy where you still want something really good for dinner, but you don’t want to spend hours making it.
That’s exactly how this recipe came to be.
These Sweet & Spicy Pork Skewers are simple, flavorful, and just the kind of meal that feels special without any extra stress. Tender pieces of pork are seasoned with chili powder and paired with sweet apples and red onion, then finished with a warm glaze made from Franklin Raw Honey and Pineapple White Balsamic Vinegar.
The combination is one of those that just works. A little savory, a little sweet, and just enough tang to bring everything together.
I love how quickly these come together. You can have them prepped and ready in minutes, and the broiler does most of the work for you. The apples soften slightly, the onions get just a bit caramelized, and the glaze adds that beautiful finish right at the end.
It’s the kind of recipe that feels like you put in more effort than you actually did—and those are always my favorite.
Perfect for a weeknight dinner, but just as nice for casual entertaining.
Simple, flavorful, and completely doable… even on your busiest days.
