Jerk seasoning is characteristically sweet and spicy. Habanero peppers crank up the heat; if you prefer, use a milder pepper, such as jalapeño. The sweet-tartness of the relish complements the spicy flavors.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups chopped green onions

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

3 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground allspice

3/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 garlic cloves, peeled

1 habanero pepper

2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed

cooking spray

2 cups finely chopped pineapple

3/4 cup finely chopped ripe plum (about 3 medium)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger

1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

Directions:

1. To prepare pork, combine first 13 ingredients in a blender; process until smooth. Place green onion mixture in a large zip-top bag. Add pork to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
2. Prepare grill.
3. Remove pork from bag; discard marinade. Place pork on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 23 minutes or until a thermometer registers 155° or until desired degree of doneness. Let pork stand 10 minutes. Slice pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
4. To prepare relish, combine pineapple and remaining ingredients in a bowl, stirring well. Serve with pork.
