Hiya, friends! How are you? Getting ready for Fall?? I’m almost in disbelief that the end of summer is near. wah wah waaaaah! Where did our time go? I’m gunna miss our days at the pools and backyard bbq’s… really, really miss them.
However, right here, right now, let’s just acknowledge that I am posting a recipe for GRILLED pork and pineapple skewers, which means it’s still summer summer summer-tiiiiime! <– Will Smith circa 1991.
FOR A CHANCE TO WIN YOUR OWN PRIVATE SELECTION SPICE BLENDS, please tell me what do you plan to make with them? Talk about it in the comments section.
These pork skewers were last week’s backyard-lunch and I couldn’t keep them all to myself. I’d feel like I was cheating or somethin’ if I didn’t share them with you. Besides, these come with a GIVEAWAY, so yah, this is our end-of-summer winning situation.
Meet your new and delicious Private Selection Spice Blends, all warm, vibrant, savory, sweet and spicy. We’ve got:
- Egyptian Inspired Dukkah Blend
- Middle Eastern Inspired Baharat Blend
- African Inspired Berbere Blend
- Caribbean Inspired Adobo Blend
- African Inspired Ras El Hanout Blend
FOR A CHANCE TO WIN YOUR OWN PRIVATE SELECTION SPICE BLENDS, please tell me what do you plan to make with them? Talk about it in the comments section.
Today we’re giving a big welcome to their Caribbean Inspired Adobo Blend and its aromatic and amazing chili-garlic flavor over some really good Barbecue Pineapple and Pork Skewers.
Adobo is a savory, all-purpose seasoning and is normally used to season and/or marinate meat, chicken, or fish. This Caribbean Adobo seasoning can be sprinkled directly onto the meat, as I have done here, or added into soups, stews, beans, and rice.
So here’s the deal: I’m obsessed with the whole barbecue-pineapple concoction. The sweet, the savory, the smoky… it’s all in there and it’s hearty, and zippy, but adding a sprinkle of that adobo, these pork skewers went from very good to pretty darn awesommmme. Once they are done, the rest will be history in under 5 minutes.
You can grab Private Selection Spice Blends at your local Kroger, but FOR A CHANCE TO WIN YOUR OWN PRIVATE SELECTION SPICE BLENDS, please tell me what do you plan to make with them?
ENJOY!

What I’d do with these spices? Create a flavor explosion in my guest’s mouths! Pork, beef, and chicken kabobs? Grilled steak? Pork chops? Grilled Salmon? Grilled veggies? So many choices
WOW! I’ve never seen those in my Kroger! I hope I win them so I can let my cooking imagination fly!! I love using spices to create new flavors in my food. I will have to look for the Caribbean blend (unless you pick me) so I can try it on my next Kabob meal!!!
I plan to use them on the recipes I got from you
For my wife and myself I make a mango chutney to go along with the skewers . For a side we have a tomato chickpea salad with a home made vinaigrette consisting of olive oil, sherry vinegar, minced shallot, salt and freshly ground pepper. One of my favorite summer dishes to have. I would love to have a set of your spices to go along with all the great recipes I make for my family.
I would love a set of your seasoning blends I love to make chicken and potatoes and Caribbean pork skewers, I love to cook and try new recipes
I would use them on some grilled fish and chicken, and those lovely kabobs. I would use the berbere, which i have used only a little before, in some lentil and vegetable stew, and some cabbage and carrot saute, maybe with green beans.
I’ve tried a lot of private selection blends but never the carribean one. this looks great and worth a try thanks for sharing
You know this spice blend is all ready to go, making something that can really hit the table with, my guest will want to know what is in this dish?
OOOO This looks amazing! I would use my grill and make cabobs, pork, steak everyhting! haha
I really need to spice up mt seafood. My family is getting tired of the usual shrimp and salmon that I have been making.
So I would try them for making shrimp tacos and some broiled salmon…thanks!
I would love to make gumbo, stirfry and soup with these seasonings!
Some unusual spices. I think I would like to try the garlic and chili on some ribs. I need to see what I would use the others for. Maybe an Indian dish I have been wanting to do.
Don’t know why the first line is in my comment.
What a great selection of spice blends. It isn’t always easy to find this sort of thing here, so I’d probably use them up in no time in both sweet and savory applications. I’ve used dukkah before and it is great when you have a little olive oil and fresh crusty bread and use it as a spice dip.
I plan to use the Adobe blend.Rub that into a reef fish and grill the fish over an wood fire near my house under the mango tree.
Serve the grilled fish with roasted corn.
I am planning Baby back ribs with spicy potato wedges!
I would start with your barbecue pineapple pork skewers since they look great and I already have the recipe.
Chicken skewers are always a hit with the kids at my place!
i plan on making a spicy chicken bulgur one pot dish.
These Kabobs!
Grilled meats
I wish we had that store here. I would make a rub with the Adobo blend.
I think all of those African spice blends would be amazing in an early fall stew, if only our weather wasn’t nearing 100s!
I’ve always wanted to make an African spiced soup!
I would use them while grilling meat for the family.
THESE LOOK SO GOOD, PLAN TO MAKE A LARGE SALAD WITH VINEGAR & OIL DRESSING AND A SIDE DISH OF GARLIC BROWN RICE.
I want to make some BARBECUE PINEAPPLE AND PORK SKEWERS; they look so delicious.
I would definitely go for some fusion cuisine with these spices, like some African inspired Berbere grilled chicken tacos in soft corn tortillas topped with queso fresco, onions and cilantro.
BTW your skewers look so good and juicy.
Grilled Pineapple Chicken Kabobs.
I would give them to my son. He really enjoys experimenting with exotic spices.
Although, I will use them all..as my New Years resolution was and is today use more spices..I’m looking forward to Middle East blend first.
For my new Turin baking. So healthy.
As a Floridian I make lots of Carribbean American cooking now..so happy t see a girl od Adobe blend too…nice for shrimp and lobster..fish.
Thanks
I would make some grilled jerk chicken with the Caribbean Inspired Adobo Blend.
Your Barbecue Pineapple Pork Skewers look and sound amazing! I would love to make Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Spiced Mushrooms using these Spice Blends! Thanks for this chance 🙂
I would make lamb shoulder with Ras el Hanout, roast carrots or pumpkin with Dukkah and use the other spice blends for kebabs, roast chicken or pork shoulder.
I would make sheet pan chicken breast with cauliflower & sweet potatoes and I think I would try the Dukkah Blend first.
My favorite way to cook is on the grill and I do so all year round. The spice selection would be great for using on steaks, chops, chicken, and seafood. Grilled veggies would also go well with the spice selection.
I would love to have these seasonings to sprinkle on my Pork Shoulder Roast.
I have never seen this collection of spices around here and am VERY intrigued! I could think of a thousand ways to use them, once I knew which ones were what. These skewers look amazing, and simple too! I love trying new things.
I love experimenting with new seasonings when I am cooking. These Adobo seasonings would be awesome on any meat and seafood! My husband loves steak on the grill so these would be a great flavor for his steak. Since fall is coming, soups are on my menu weekly, so I will definitely use the seasonings in many of my homemade soups! Thank you!
Chicken kabobs!
I cook a lot of spicy and flavorful dishes so these different spices would fit right in!
I would make the pine apple baked ham this would be so flavorful!!
We would use these while grilling fajitas and chicken kabobs.
On a nice venison steak … MMMM .. WOW !!!!
I would make some jerk chicken and some rice with them and then some pork with some of the others!
I will be trying the seasoning with some vegan selections for my daughter and son-in-law and with some ketogenic selections for my son and daughter-in-law!!
I would use this on chicken. I think it would be great on it.
id make chicken with it i bet it would be good or some pork
I don’t like salt, so I love using spices for every dish, like roast chicken, grilled chops, veggie k-bobs.
These look amazing! I want to go break out my grill now and cook some up before bed!
Looking for new spices we haven’t tried. Sometimes just finding a spice and making a recipe around a new spice is how we decide on dinner. I get sick of the same old recipes.
I would make a roasted chicken! these spices look yummy!
I’ll use them to season tofu and when grilling vegetables
These pork skewers look amazing!
I adore Private Selection spices! 🙂 If I won, I bet my husband & I would whip up a tasty spice blend to use a rub for our smoker.
I’d make some chicken adobo.
These look fascinating. 🙂 I shop at Kroger every weekend and I have never seen these. I’m not sure yet what I would make but I sure would love to give them a whirl. I am very passionate about cooking and LOVE love LOVE to try new things.
I would love to try these Barbecue Pineapple and Pork Skewers they look amazing.
Having a family reunion, where we are having a pig roast. This would be great on the giant piggy
Wow my mouth is watering after reading your recipe and seeing the photos! What a delicious combinations of flavors!
I love Private Selection brand.. most of my spices in my cabinet are theirs!
One thing I would make is Fajitas. I think the Adobo spice would be good for that! I’ll bet the Baharat seasoning would be good on Middle Eastern Chicken Kabobs, too!
I would use some for a pork roast rub, I bet they’re fantastic!
I use to make Dukah dip all the time but for some reason I haven’t in years it would be great to have the spice to make it also it would be a great spice on chicken.
I would experiment and make some new bbq rubs. First, I would make a pork shoulder roast with the Caribbean Adobo. Thanks for the chance!
OMG, I would incorporate these with so many different dishes.
Would absolutely love to try them.
Any of these gorgeous blends would go well w/ either of my go to staples, grilled lamb chops /braised chicken thighs.
I’d make roasted sweet potatoes. Great with any seasoning!
We make chicken a lot so these spices would be great for that!
I think I would make home fries first. Home fries are easy to make, and you can season them an endless number of ways.
I love dukkah! I’d coat some chicken with it first.
You’ve got such great flavors going on here! I’m anxious to try these!
The flavors of this are amazing! I love pineapple!
