PORK LOIN WITH STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB CHUTNEY

Pork Loin with Strawberry-Rhubarb Chutney image

I love strawberry rhubarb pie, so I thought the same flavor combination could work as a chutney-and it does! It makes a delicious and festive accompaniment to a succulent pork roast. The chutney can be made a day ahead and kept in the refrigerator. -Deborah Biggs, Omaha, Nebraska
