Grilled Pork with Mango and Rum Sauce

Tried this new Caribbean dish for dinner tonight, and I was more then pleasantly surprised. Straight from my trusty Cooking Light magazine, and claiming to be 295 calories, this recipe serves four. The kids did not like the mango, and the pork was too spicy...next time I will use less rub on their pieces. It was very filling and I will definitely make it again. Enjoy!


Ingredients:
1 TBS Jamaican Jerk seasoning
2 TBS fresh lime juice
1.5 tsp canola oil
1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin
2 ripe mangos
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup golden rum
2 tsp unsalted butter
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:
1. Combine jerk seasoning, 1 TBS lime juice and 1 tsp oil in a small bowl and mix well,

2. Cut the pork loin crosswise into 8 equal pieces and rub with above mixture. Cut the mangos in half and brush with remaining oil.

3. Heat up grill. Grill the pork for about 4 minutes on each side, and the mangos for 3 minutes, flesh down. Meanwhile in a small saucepan combine sugar and next three ingredients (through salt). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for four minutes, until it thickens slightly. Stir in 1 TBS lime juice. Drizzle over pork and mangos. Serving size is two medallions and 1/2 mango. Enjoy!
