Oh boy, this tenderloin was outstanding. I used fresh jalapeno pepper and marinated a couple of hours. I cooked on the gas grill with some wood chunks thrown in. The smell and flavor was excellent. The meat was tender and juicy. Went perfectly with chutney. Thanks Derf, this is one super recipe.

This pork is succulent. . Chutney along side enhances the already great flavor of the pork. I did it in the oven 375f for apprx 1/2 hour (I just kept testing with a meat thermometer until it hit 160 took it out, foil wrapped it and finished the rest of the veggies). I did use fresh Serrano Chlies instead of canned and I marinated it for 2 hours. Derf I can't believe the wonderful flavor. Thanks I love your recipes.

This was so good and tastes like the marinade for jamaican jerk pork that I've eaten on many occasions. I'm going to try it on chicken and keep this as one of my go to recipes for grilling. Thanks for helping me make a scrumptious dinner!
