Summer Fruit almost too ripe to eat? What do you do?

Mr. Z often buys too much fruit and I'll bet you do, too. Sometimes you find it softening and, if you're like me, you don't like it when it's going a little too ripe but you don't feel like eating it all at once just so it won't go bad and you have to discard it, right? So, the other night, I looked at 3 nectarines and a peach which were beyond the point I like to eat them and a Granny Smith apple, I looked at my pork tenderloin and thought "That fruit will make a great accompaniment".

SO....I came up with this recipe and I highly recommend it, we loved it and it's a GREAT way to use fruit that's not QUITE perfect to eat as it is anymore. I won't put exact amounts, but for the 3 nectarines, one peach and the apple, I did this:

Half a finely chopped onion...sauteed in olive oil till almost soft.....Peel and chop all the fruit up into small bits, whatever you like...and throw it into the sauteed onion ......
Throw in any dried fruit you might have....I used dried cranberries, just about 1/4 cup. You can cut up prunes, throw in some raisins......or not! I put in about 1 T of raspberry vinegar About 3 tsp of curry powder (use as much you like) a shake of red pepper flakes (optional) A shake or 2 of garlic powder (not garlic salt)

Experiment with it...use what you have.....make sure the apple (if you use it)'s soft and heated through and your fruit accompaniment is done! Takes 10 minutes! I poured it over sliced pork tenderloin after I'd baked it at 450 for about 40 minutes with garlic powder and chili powder coating it......... I HIGHLY recommend this way to get rid of fruit this summer...it sure beats throwing it OUT especially in economic times such as these! Bon Appetit!
