FOR PORK TENDERLOIN: Combine oil, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper and
cinnamon in bowl. Rub over pork. Cover pork and refrigerate at least 4
hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 400#161#F. Heat large nonstick skillet over high heat.
Season pork with salt and pepper. Add to skillet in batches and brown on
all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer pork to large baking pan.
Roast pork until thermometer inserted into thickest part registers
155#161#F, about 15 minutes. Transfer pork to platter; let rest 5 minutes.

Cut pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange on plates; serve with chutney.

FOR APPLE CHUTNEY: Combine all ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Bring
to boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and
simmer until liquid is slightly syrupy, stirring occasionally, about 1
hour. Season chutney to taste with salt and pepper. Cool to room
temperature. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to
room temperature before serving.)

Notes: In this delicious recipe from the Duck Soup Inn in the San Juan
Islands, cayenne pepper adds zip to the spice mixture for the pork, while
the apple chutney is a sweet condiment.
