Steps:

- Mix remaining ingredients (and any remaining pineapple). Pour over grilled meat.

Tips:
- Use quality pork: Opt for fresh, lean pork shoulder or tenderloin for the best texture and flavor.
- Cut the pork evenly: Uniformly sized pieces ensure even cooking.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating tenderizes the pork and infuses it with flavor. Use a flavorful marinade with a balance of sweet, savory, and spicy ingredients.
- Skewer the pork properly: Thread the pork pieces onto skewers in a way that prevents them from spinning while cooking.
- Cook the skewers over high heat: This will help create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
- Baste the skewers with marinade: Basting keeps the skewers moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Serve with a dipping sauce: A spicy dipping sauce complements the skewers perfectly and adds an extra layer of flavor.
Conclusion:
These spicy pork skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a flavorful marinade, tender pork, and a spicy kick, they are sure to be a hit at any gathering. Serve them with a dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy!
