Recipe by JSE123
Yield 6 servings
Ingredients
3 large ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
2 medium pork tenderloins, trimmed
1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped and lightly toasted
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
6 medium lemon wedges
Instructions
To make Carolina Peach Chutney, place the peaches, lemon juice (reserve zest for later use), raisins, rosemary, onion, brown sugar, pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt into a medium saucepan placed over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; spoon mixture into a bowl, then cover and reserve. (May be done a day ahead and refrigerated, if preferred.)
To make the pork tenderloin, combine the water, sugar and kosher salt, stirring until sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour mixture into a large covered container with the pork tenderloins; let marinate in refrigerator for about 4 hours. Remove tenderloins from the brine; pat dry and discard brine.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a shallow baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, then place the tenderloins on the prepared pan. Whisk together honey and balsamic vinegar; brush tenderloins thoroughly with mixture and sprinkle with black pepper. Place into preheated oven; cook for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the pork is about 155 degrees. Remove from the oven; tent with foil to keep pork warm. Let rest for about 10 minutes.
While pork is resting, make Pecan Gremolata by combining pecans, parsley and reserved lemon zest; set aside. Cut pork into slices; sprinkle with Pecan Gremolata and serve with Georgia Peach Chutney and fresh lemon wedges. Makes about 6 servings.
