Directions:
 Cut tenderloin lengthwise down the center, almost but not quite through bottom. Open up and lay flat. Brush with oil and pat on the spices to adhere. Cover the cherries with hot water to soften then drain and put in a small saucepan along with the nectar, sherry, preserves and ginger root. Simmer for five minutes then stir in lime juice. Divide spinach, mango, onions, basil, mint and almonds among four plates. Grill tenderloin five inches from heat source for five minutes. Turn and grill for six to seven minutes more or until tests done. Slice into 1/2 inch thick slices and arrange on top or salad. Spoon dried cherry sauce over salads. Serves four.
