PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FRESH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F, then put the pork tenderloin in a roasting pan.
• In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar with the Dijon mustard, paprika & ginger, then spread HALF of this mixture over the pork tenderloin, before baking uncovered for 15 minutes.
• When the 15 minutes are up, spread the pork with the remaining brown sugar mixture & bake 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until a meat thermometer reads 145 degrees F, but if you're a traditionalist, you'll want the thermometer to read 160 degrees F!
• Meanwhile, for the salsa, in a small mixing bowl, combine the bell pepper & onion with the last tablespoon of brown sugar, along with the cup of diced pineapple & pineapple juice.
• When the pork comes out of the oven, let it stand briefly before slicing the meat & serving it with a generous portion of salsa.
