Very enjoyable. I had saved this recipe a while ago, but it was a little difficult for me to find the preserves. Luckily, they had artisanal fig preserves at Whole Foods, which contained some whole figs which I just added to the skewers. I really enjoyed the flavor of this and will make extra for dipping the next time.

What a wonderful meal. Thank you so much for sharing Chilicat. We really enjoyed these tasty kabobs. The meat was sweet, tart, juicy and tender. The sauce was incredible, I used fig balsamic vinegar along with the preserves and I grilled them on my portable grill, it was so yummy! I will definitely make these again.
