1 teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon curry powder

1 pound boneless pork loin chops, trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks

2 teaspoons jerk seasoning

1 red bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces

4 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths

1 mango, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1-inch chunks

1  Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Preheat grill to medium-high or prepare medium-high fire. If using wooden skewers, soak 8 (8-inch) skewers in water 30 minutes.

2  To make sauce, whisk together lime juice, sugar, and curry powder in small bowl.

3  Sprinkle pork with jerk seasoning. Alternately thread pork, bell peppers, scallions, and mango onto skewers.
