Prepare Grill (or Broiler)

In a small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, thyme and chives. Sauté until onion is almost tender. Add vinegar and sauté a minute or two more to coat. Add cherries and continue cooking until tender (about 10 minutes). Remove skillet from heat and season with salt.

Grill marinated pork about four minutes per side until cooked through. Transfer to plates and top with cherry mixture. Enjoy! (Servings: 4)
