Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup dark spiced rum, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp ground allspice, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 1 lb pork tenderloin and rub 2 tbsp olive oil all over. Place it in a roasting pan and brush half of the rum glaze evenly over the pork.
  3. Step 3: Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze and roast for another 10-15 minutes until an internal temperature of 145°F is reached. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Step 4: While the pork roasts, prepare mango chutney by combining 1 cup diced mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro in a bowl. Toss well and refrigerate until serving.
  5. Step 5: Serve sliced pork tenderloin drizzled with any pan juices alongside a generous spoonful of mango chutney for a balanced, flavorful Caribbean-inspired dish.
