Preparation

Marinating the Pork

Combine Ingredients

In a bowl, mix together all ingredients for the Mojo Marinade.

Marinate Pork

Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable bag, pour the marinade over the pork, and seal the bag.

Refrigerate

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight for best results.

For maximum flavor, marinate overnight in the fridge.

Preparing the Grilled Peaches

Preheat Grill

Preheat a grill to medium heat.

Ensure the grill is preheated to avoid sticking.

Make Honey Glaze

In a small bowl, combine honey and olive oil.

Brush Peaches

Brush the peach halves with the honey mixture.

Score the peaches lightly before grilling for deeper flavor infusion.

Cooking Process

Grill Pork

Remove pork from marinade and grill over medium heat for approximately 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until an internal temperature of 145°F is reached.

Grill Peaches

Place peach halves on the grill, skin-side up, and grill for 3-4 minutes until charred marks appear.

Rest Meat

Let the pork rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing for juicy, tender meat.
