1/4 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp light brown sugar
2 lbs. pork tenderloin
3/4 cup hulled pumpkin seeds (green seeds)
1 cup half & half

Combine chiles, sauce, orange juice, and brown sugar. Put pork in a zip top bag and add marinade, turning to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.

Heat grill to medium high. Grill pork, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center reads 160, about 10 minutes per side. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Reserve juices.
