Jerk Pork Tenderloin with Pineapple and Jicama Salsa

Recipe found in Food & Wine Annual Cookbook - 2011 p 166

I made this tenderloin on Sunday. I started marinating the pork Sunday morning.  The marinade was very easy to make.  Simply throw all of the ingredients into the blender.  The one change I made was that I cut up the fresh ginger into smaller pieces before putting into the blender.  I just know that my blender wasn't able to chop up the single large piece into smaller pieces.

The pineapple salsa was very simple to make.  Chop and drop.  Stir at the end.  I really like the texture that the jicama adds. The ripe pineapple brings in the sweetness, the jalapeño add some spice.  I may have to make this more often.  I think it would also pair great with some grilled chicken during the summer.

 The pork was simply grilled after being marinated for several hours.  Very tasty.
