I love strawberry-rhubarb pie, so I thought the same flavor combination could work as a chutney—and it does! This makes a delicious and festive accompaniment to a succulent pork roast. The chutney can be made a day ahead and kept in the refrigerator. —Deborah Biggs, Omaha, Nebraska

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless pork loin roast (3 to 4 pounds)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 2-1/4 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
  • 2/3 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Directions

  1. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown roast in oil on all sides.
  2. Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° until a thermometer reads 145°, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Remove roast to a serving platter; let stand for 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, cinnamon and lemon zest. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the rhubarb, strawberries and rosemary. Cook and stir over medium heat until rhubarb is tender and mixture is slightly thickened, 15-20 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick and serve with pork.
