Grilled Pork with Spicy Pineapple Salsa

 I got 4 big binders of recipes at an estate sale a few weeks ago.  Some lady had cut out recipes from magazines etc and put them in these binders.  So fun to look at.  I found this recipe for pork that we tried and it was excellent.  I used a mild salsa and you can spice it up if you use a medium or hot salsa.


Grilled Pork with Spicy Pineapple Salsa

Ingredients:

  • 1 jar (16 oz.) chunky salsa
  • 1 can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple
  • 1/2 cup port wine or grape juice
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup orange juice concentrate, thawed
  • 2 T. worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

Pork:

  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 2 pork tenderloins (1 lb. each)
  • Lime wedges

Directions:

  1.  In a saucepan, combine the first nine ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook 20 minutes or until mixture reduces by half, stirring occasionally. 
  2.  Meanwhile, for pork, mix cumin, pepper and cayenne pepper; rub on tenderloins.  
  3.  Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly.
  4. Grill tenderloins covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inch from heat 18-22 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145 degrees, turning occasionally.
  5. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.  Serve with salsa and lime wedges.
