Grilled Mojo Pork and Pineapple Skewers

These grilled mojo pork and pineapple skewers are marinated in Cuban-inspired mojo sauce. Usually based on a citrus fruit known as bitter orange—hard to find in US stores—this recipe uses a combination of orange and lime juice. Marinated pork tenderloin and fresh pineapple chunks, threaded and grilled on skewers, are dressed with a garlicky sauce made from reserved marinade.
