Step 1
Combine apricots, oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, and curry powder in a bowl.
Step 2
Add lamb cubes and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
Step 4
Thread lamb cubes and onion pieces alternately onto 8 metal skewers.
Step 5
Heat grill to medium-high. Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place skewers on grill. Cook 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes for even browning.

Lamb is done when deeply caramelized and internal temp reaches 160°F (medium).
Step 8
