I'm not sure about the combination of pork and fruit, but I'm willing to give it a try.

I'm definitely going to make these for my next party. They look like they'd be a crowd-pleaser.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but these kebabs look so good that I might have to give them a try.

Not a fan. The pork was dry and the marinade didn't have much flavor.

These were delicious! I used chicken instead of pork, and they turned out great. I'll definitely be making these again.

I love the smoky flavor that the paprika and cumin give to these kebabs. They're also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

These pinchitos morunos were a hit at my last party! The pork was juicy and flavorful, and the marinade was perfect. I'll definitely be making these again.
