Notes

  • Prepare the grill: Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  • Soak wooden skewers: 15–30 minutes in water to avoid burning.
  • Don’t skip the marinade: It adds flavor and keeps pork tender.
  • Baste while grilling: Use honey for a caramelized, sticky glaze.
  • Watch the heat: Grill over medium heat—too hot and they’ll burn.
  • Cook to 145°F: Use a meat thermometer for juicy, safe pork.
  • Use firm nectarines: So they hold up well on the grill.
  • Try a smoker: A pellet grill gives added smoky flavor with fewer flare-ups.
  • Store leftovers: Remove from skewers and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or air fryer.
