2- 1 1/2 lb pork tenderloins
2 Tbsp canola oil
salt and pepper
1 c guava jelly or apricot jam
1/4 c dijon mustard
1/4 c freshly squeezed orange juice
salt and pepper
2 Tbsp canola oil
1 small red onion, finely chopped
4 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 c fresh lime juice
3 c orange juice, fresh (i use simply orange)
1/2 habanero chile, seeded and finely chopped
2 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
1 cumin seeds (i omit - not a big fan)
salt and pepper

Steps:

1. Prepare the Guava Glaze by whisking jelly, dijon, and 1/4 cup orange juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Make the Orange-Habanero Mojo. Heat 2 Tbsp. canola in a saucepan. Add onion and garlic and cook til soft. Add lime juice, 3 cups orange juice, and habanero chile and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half. Whisk in cilantro and cumin (if desired) and season to taste with salt and pepper
3. Preheat a grill. Brush pork with oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside a few tablespoons of the guava glaze to baste the pork while cooking. Grill 4-5 minutes per side, brushing frequently with glaze. Remove from grill and brush again with remaining glaze. Let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and drizzle orange-habanero mojo over the pork. Serve remaining mojo on the side.
