2 cups cut-up assorted fresh fruit (cantaloupe, honeydew melon, grapes, papaya and mango)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 to 2 teaspoons lime juice
4 teaspoons ground nutmeg
4 teaspoons ground cumin
4 teaspoons garlic salt
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 lb)

In small bowl, mix fruit, cilantro and lime juice. Cover; refrigerate until serving.

In another small bowl, mix nutmeg, cumin, garlic salt, cinnamon and red pepper. Place pork in heavy-duty resealable food-storage plastic bag. Sprinkle spice mixture over pork. Turn bag several times to coat pork. Seal bag; refrigerate 15 minutes.
