Peach Salsa Directions: Place the peaches, onion, bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, jalapenos, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Grilling the Pork Tenderloin Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or 400 degrees. Brush the grill with vegetable oil to keep the pork from sticking.
Place the pork tenderloins on the grill and turn every 5 minutes or so. When the meat thermometer reads 135 degrees and you have approximately 4 minutes of grilling time left, coat the porktenderloinsliberallywiththeglaze. Cook for 2 minutes and turn and brush the glaze on the other side. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
The tenderloins will take a total of 15-20 minutes to reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees at the thickest part. This will, of course, depend on the size of the tenderloins and how hot your grill is.
When the tenderloins reach 140 degrees remove them from the grill, tent with foil and let them rest for about 5 minutes to come up to 145 degrees.
To serve, slice the pork tenderloins and top with a large spoonful of the peach salsa.
Makes 6 servings.
