PORK TENDERLOINS WITH PINEAPPLE-MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the brine: Crush the spices with the bottom of a saucepan. Put spices in a saucepan and toast, swirling pan over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add water, 3 tablespoons salt, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic to the pan. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and stir in the rum; cool to room temperature. Remove silver skin from tenderloins and place in a bowl or shallow container. Pour the brine over the tenderloins. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.
• For the chutney: Put the coriander, allspice, and cloves in a small skillet and toast, swirling pan, over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Crush spices with a heavy pan or a mortar and pestle. Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ginger, garlic, and jalapeno and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add toasted spices, vinegar, and sugar and stir util dissolved. Stir in pineapple and salt Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Cool, then stir in scallions, mint, and lime juice.
• Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-high fire for direct and indirect grilling.
• Remove the tenderloins from the brine and pat dry. Brush the grill grate lightly with vegetable oil. Season tenderloins with coarsely ground black pepper and salt to taste. Grill the tenderloins over direct heat util each side is golden brown, about 6 minutes per side. Move the meat over to the cool side of the grill, cover with a disposable aluminum pan, and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads at least 145 F for medium, about 6 to 8 minutes more. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Slice the tenderloins into medallions and serve with the chutney.

PEAR CHUTNEY

• Place 300ml vinegar into a pan with the remaining ingredients, season (optional) and slowly bring to a simmer over a slow to medium heat, stirring for 2-3 minutes until sugar dissolves.
• Cook for 25-30 minutes until fruit is tender. Add remaining vinegar and cook for 30-40 minutes or until chutney is thickened and liquid is almost evaporated. Transfer liquid into sterilised jars. Cool jars.
• The chutney can be eaten immediately or it will keep in a cool dark place for up to six months.
• Place chutney into the fridge after opening and use within 2-3 months.

GOLDEN SAFFRON PEAR CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into a large preserving pan, except the pears and the tomatoes - leave them to one side for now.
• Simmer for about 30 - 45 minutes - stirring all the time until the mixture is reduced and syrupy.
• (It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and not be too runny.).
• Add the pears and the tomatoes and continue to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the pears are just soft.
• Pour into hot and sterilised jars - seal and then store the chutney in a cool, dark place.
• It is better eaten after 1-2 months.
• This chutney keeps for up to 2 years.

HERBED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the tenderloins on a sheet pan and pat them dry with paper towels. Combine the rosemary, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the tenderloins all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle all sides with the herb mixture. If there is a thinner "tail," fold it underneath so the tenderloin is an even thickness throughout. Wrap the tenderloins completely with a single layer of prosciutto. (I place the prosciutto sideways with the ends wrapping under the tenderloins.) Tie in several places with kitchen string to hold the prosciutto and the "tail" in place.
• Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the end of the tenderloin reads 140 degrees F for medium rare and 145 degrees F for medium. Cover the tenderloins tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice diagonally in thick slices and serve warm with apple chutney.

GINGER PEAR CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In large preserving kettle or dutch oven, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
• Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 1 1/2 hours, continuing to stir occasionally.
• Remove from heat and pour into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/8 inch headspace. Add lids and rings and process jars in a boiling water bath in a canner for 15 minutes. Take the canner off the heat and let water stop boiling before removing jars. Carefully remove jars and let sit. As they cool, the jars will seal themselves with a"pop". Label, and store in cool, dry, dark place.
• To prepare the jars, I first wash them in the dishwasher, or in the sink with very hot, soapy water, then rinse them well and put them in a warm oven, taking the jars out one or two at a time when filling them.
• I soak the lids in very hot water and put them immediately from the hot water onto the filled jars, making sure the rims of the jars are clean, then add the rings (which I've also soaked in hot water) and screw them on the jars just finger tight.

PORK CHOPS WITH PEAR CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For chutney: In medium microwave-safe bowl, stir together shallot, vinegar, brown sugar, butter, ginger, curry powder, cinnamon stick, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and red pepper. Cover and seal with plastic wrap and heat in microwave oven on HIGH for 1 minute. Carefully remove plastic wrap and stir in pears and cranberries. Re-cover and microwave for 10 minutes more. Carefully poke holes in plastic wrap to release steam and set aside.
• For pork chops: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan and heat until shimmering. Lay 4 chops in pan and sear until golden on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook 1 more minute. Remove from pan; set aside and keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil and chops. Add chutney to pan and, scrape up any brown bits from bottom using a wooden spoon. Simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in cilantro. Serve chops with chutney.
