Tips & Techniques

  • Lean on Pork

    Pork loin is a lean protein choice. Protein supplies amino acids that give structure to the body in skin, cell membranes and muscles.

  • Substitution

    You'll find a variety of Caribbean spice mixes in the spice section of the supermarket to use instead of making the Spice Rub.

  • Time Saver

    Use precut mixed fruit found in the produce or deli section of your supermarket.

Ingredients

  • Fruit
  • 2  cups cut-up assorted fresh fruit (such as cantaloupe, honeydew melon, grapes, papaya and mango)
  • 1  tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1  to 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • Spice Rub
  • 4  teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 4  teaspoons ground cumin
  • 4  teaspoons garlic salt
  • 3  teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4  to 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • Pork
  • 1  pork tenderloin (1 1/4 pounds)

Directions

  1. 1Mix all Fruit ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
  2. 2Mix all Spice Rub ingredients. Place pork in heavy-duty resealable food-storage plastic bag. Sprinkle with Spice Rub. Turn bag several times to coat pork. Seal bag; refrigerate 15 minutes.
  3. 3Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove pork from bag. Cover and grill pork 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 15 to 20 minutes, turning frequently, until pork has slight blush of pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160°F. Serve with fruit mixture.
