GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FRESH CHERRY CHUTNEY


(Phase 2)

To pit a cherry, place the flat side of a large knife on the cherry; press gently until it splits open, then pull out the pit.

3/4 cup cherry preserves (use a sugar-free or no sugar added variety)
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2/3 cup chopped onion
2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper


1 1 1/4-pound pork tenderloin

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Mix preserves, vinegar, and allspice in medium bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup of preserves mixture for glaze; reserve remaining preserves mixture.

Heat oil in large skillet over high heat. Add onion; sauté 1 minute. Add cherries, cayenne, and reserved preserves mixture. Boil chutney until thick, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Season with salt. Set chutney aside.

Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper; brush with some glaze. Cook over hottest part of grill until brown. Move to coolest part and grill until thermometer inserted into thickest part of pork registers 145°F, turning often and brushing with glaze, about 25 minutes total. Transfer pork to platter. Let rest 10 minutes. Rewarm reserved chutney; serve with pork.

Makes 4 servings.
