Note

Safety: Do not reuse the raw marinade that touched the raw meat. The marinade boiled with cornstarch is safe to use as a glaze.

Preparation Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning on the grill.

Ingredient Note: The original text mentions "1 lb Pineapple" and "20 lg Mushrooms" in the directions but they were missing from the ingredient list. Ensure you have fresh pineapple and mushrooms on hand.

Storage: Serve immediately after grilling. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
