Pork and apple kebabs
Ingredients:

- Skewers
Method:
1. In a bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, orange juice, garlic and honey. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. Add the pork cubes to the marinade and leave for at least an hour.
3. Once the meat has finished marinating, heat up the barbecue to medium-high.
4. Skewer the meat with the green apple cubes and the onions. Try to place the meat between the onion and the apple to give it extra flavour.
5. Season the skewers to taste with sea salt and black pepper, and place on the grill.

2. Brush both sides of the squash slices with the mixture.
