Pork with Watermelon Salsa Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Grill: 25 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

15 25 40

Ingredients

1 cup seeded chopped watermelon
1/2 cup chopped strawberries
1/2 cup chopped kiwifruit
1/4 cup chopped peaches
3 tablespoons lime juice
4 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel
1 to 2 mint leaves, chopped
1/2 cup peach preserves
3 pork tenderloins (3/4 pound each)

Directions

For salsa, in a small bowl, combine the fruit, lime juice, honey, lime peel and mint; set aside. In a saucepan or microwave, heat the preserves for 1 minute.
Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare grill for indirect heat using a drip pan. Place pork over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium-hot heat for 15 minutes. Turn; brush with some of the preserves. Grill 10-15 minutes longer or until juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 160°, basting occasionally with preserves. Serve with salsa. Yield: 6 servings (2 cups salsa).
