Combine each marinade separately. Whisk together to blend.

Divide each marinade in half. Save half of marinade and pour other half of each marinade over meat. (You will use reserved marinade to brush on spiedini  while cooking.)

Let meat marinate at least 4 hours before skewering, this ensures even marinating. Skewer 1 ½ oz wt of marinated meat on to each skewer. Do each meat separately. Do not combine on skewer.

Pour any remaining contaminated marinade over pans of skewers. Do not use the marinade you are saving.

Place in clean container. Label, date, initial and refrigerate.
