The pork was flavorful but the veggies were lack luster. I would reccomend adding some seasoning to the veggies before placing on the skewer to give them a little better taste.

Sugar Sugar
To reduce the high amount of sugar in this recipe - which is primarily from the marmalade, use a low or no sugar version. It can cut as much as 100 calories and 20 grams of sugar per serving. Regular marmalade has 40 calories, 8g sugar and 10g carbs per 1 tablespoon.
