We made these kabobs for Memorial Day this week. As the recipe was stated, I'm sure it would be great, which is why I'm giving it a 4 star rating. After reading the many reviews, I decided to make a few adjustments that sounded good to me also, like the addition of shrimp, a few different vegies, and pineapple. Had the meat marinating for about 6 hours, the vegies only about 3, but made the terrible mistake of putting the fresh pineapple in with the meat. DO NOT DO THIS. There was some sort of a reaction, and it must have started 'cooking' the meat while it marinated....the meat was terrible, we had to literally throw it out. It was mushy and mealy, changed the texture entirely. The pineapple and vegies, however, were delicious, and gone in a flash. Luckily we had hotdogs and hamburgers to have with them.....Operator error on this one, will definitely try this again, with no pineapple in the bag while marinating!! Do try it!
