  • 2 cups fresh peeled peaches, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder

Pimento Cheese Aioli

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp chopped garlic
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp course ground pepper
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
  • 1 tbsp pickled jalapeno with juice
  • 1 4 oz jar chopped pimentos, drained
  • 1 tbsp chives, minced

Instructions

  1. Directions for the pork with marinade. Place the pork tenderloins in a resealable bag, mix all the ingredients in a small bowl, pour into the bag with the pork and let marinate for 2 hours (I did mine overnight and it was fabulous)

    Heat the barbeque grill to medium heat and brush the grates with oil. Grill pork turning every 5 minutes until lightly charred on all sides, basting with the bbq sauce halfway through cooking. Cook until a meat thermometer reads 140 degrees about 15 to 20 minutes. Alternativley, you can roast the pork in a 400 degree oven if you don't have access to a bbq grill. Place on a platter loosely covered with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice and assemble the sliders with greens like arugula, the pimento cheese aioli, more bbq sauce and other toppings of your choice like pickled red onion and/or sweet bread & butter pickle slices. Makes 16 to 18 sliders, enough for 8 to 10 party guests

Bourbon Jalapeno BBQ Sauce

  1. In a medium sauce pan over medium/high heat add the oil, shallot and jalapenos and let saute for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally

    Add the peaches along with all the other ingredients, bring to a low boil and turn down to medium starring occasionally for 10 minutes. Take off heat and let cool and pulse puree with a hand immersion blender or regular blender until it's smooth but with a bit of chunkiness; transfer to container with led and refrigerate

Pimento Cheese Aioli

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth, cover and refrigerate until ready to use
