Pork Loin with Strawberry-Rhubarb Chutney image

I grow rhubarb in my garden and, since it tends to grow like crazy, I needed to come up with more ways to use it. I do love strawberry rhubarb pie, so I thought the same flavor combination could work as chutney and it does! The chutney can be made a day ahead and kept in the refrigerator. -Deborah Biggs, Omaha, Nebraska
