Bon Appetit (?) lists this as Grilled Tenderloin with Cherry Salsa. How often do I even HAVE fresh cherries in my kitchen? Maybe every ten years, or so. Anyway, I saw this recipe after having bought about three pounds of fresh cherries. Meanwhile, at Kroger, the pork tenderloins were on special. This sealed the deal. Had to give it a try.
Red jalepeno pepper for the Cherry Salsa was not available, so I used red pepper flakes instead. BUT, it worked. (Yum). And even though I had to wash and pit the cherries as the meat marinated, the timing was actually just as the recipe indicated... do-able.
The resulting meal was so delicious, I would have proposed to my husband, if we weren't already married. After about my fourth bite, I told him, "Happy Anniversary", though our next one of those is months away. We thought a bit about it, though, and it actuallyWAS our 45th anniversary of the month we met! So, C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-E-!

Also, we will get three meals from this one cookout. Our freezer has been notified, and looked pretty pleased, too.
