Recipe - Mango Pork Loin

4 tablespoon Butter
1 tablespoon Curry powder
4 cup Fresh pineapple; minced
1 cup Chicken broth
3 One half pound Boneless Pork loin
2/3 cup Mango chutney
Salt & Pepper (to taste)

Mango garnish: 2 fresh mangoes peeled and minced (or cut or sliced up ) and tossed with
1 Tbl. minced fresh ginger and 1 Tbl. minced cilantro. Optional:
additional mango chutney.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place butter and curry powder in skillet.
Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add pineapple and
stir to coat. Add pineapple juice and broth and bring to a boil on high
heat. Boil 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, trim pork of excess fat, leaving a thin layer on top of the
meat. Place fatside up, in a shallow roasting pan. Using a slotted
spoon, scoop up pineapple and place around the meat. Pour 1/3 cup of
juicebroth mixture over top of meat. Place in the middle of a preheated
350¡ oven. Roast for 1 hour, uncovered.

Meanwhile, reduce juicebroth mixture by boiling on high heat for about 8
to 10 minutes. You want to reduce it by half in volume. As the pork
roasts, if pan look dry, spoon a little of this reduced juicebroth mixture
over the roast to baste it. If preparing rice, reserve 1 cup of
juicebroth mixture; set aside. Remove roast from oven and season with a
little salt and pepper. Spread chutney over the top of the roast, covering
sides and ends. Return to oven and roast, uncovered, an additional 30
minutes (roast should have an internal temperature of 150¡ to 160¡). Add
more juicebroth mixture to pan if it looks dry.

Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Arrange pork slices on a
platter, overlapping each slice to form a pattern. Place mango garnish
around the pork. Serve immediately.
