Prepare the vegetables
Place potatoes and carrots in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain.

Assemble the skewers
Cut the pork into 12 equal pieces and the pepper into 8 chunks. On 4 metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread the meat and vegetables; set aside.

Make the glaze
In a small saucepan, combine the butter, maple syrup, and orange peel; cook and stir over low heat until the butter is melted.

Grill the kabobs
Uncovered, grill the kabobs over medium heat for 5 minutes; turn and brush with the butter mixture. Continue grilling, turning and brushing often, for 14-17 minutes until the meat juices run clear and the vegetables are tender.
