INGREDIENTS

2 lbs.   pork tenderloin
 
Marinade  
1 cup  red wine vinegar 
2 tbsp olive oil 
1 tbsp finely grated orange peel 
1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger
1/2 tsp  black pepper 
 
Pear Chutney
3  slightly under-ripe California Bartlett pears, peeled, cored, and chopped

DIRECTIONS

Rinse tenderloin and pat dry.
In a large shallow pan, combine all marinade ingredients. Place pork in pan and turn to coat. Cover, place in refrigerator and let marinate several hours or overnight.
 
Meanwhile, combine all chutney ingredients except cranberries in a medium saucepan; stir well to combine.
Cover and simmer for 55 minutes over very low heat. Stir in cranberries and cook for 5 minutes more. Let cool.

To prepare meat, place over medium hot coals and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, or until meat reaches 160 degrees internally, brushing liberally with marinade several times during grilling.

Remove from grill and let stand for 5 minutes.
Cut meat into 1/4-inch thick slices and serve with chutney.
