This pork dish was crazy good! I didn't have access to a grill due to the cold so I opted for the baking it for 40 minutes on 400 degree method and it was fabulous. I followed the recipe to a T but added in minced garlic to the marinade. We thoroughly enjoyed this and enjoyed the sauce it made served over white rice. Thank you for another great one!

good but no great. i think it was a little too sweet and not tangy enough for us. I cooked it in the oven 400 , 60 min. It took a lot longer than other reviewers said, it felt tough so I kept it longer and came out good (we like well done in our house) Added garlic as other suggested as well

I made this recipe last night, and it was fantastic. Instead of throwing away the marinade, however, I boiled it (to kill the raw-pork germs) and then used it to baste the tenderloin while grilling. My tenderloin took about 40 minutes to cook over indirect heat, and I turned it every 10 minutes and basted. The results was was very tender meat with a fantastic glaze. Yum!

Very tasty! I buy pork tenderloin when it is on sale, mix up the marinade in a Ziploc bag, toss in the tenderloin and freeze. This way it is ready to go when it thaws and it's an easy, tasty meal that is ready for the grill.

This is a fantastic recipe. I did not cook on the grill however, I first browned the tenderloin on the stovetop in a dutch oven with a little oil. Then, I added the sauce and baked in the dutch oven on 325 for about an hour, until the pork was cooked to 145 degrees. Also, when the pork was resting, I heated the sauce on the stove with a cup of chicken broth and little corn starch. Served the sauce over the pork. Thanks for the recipe!

I found this recipe on here about 6 months ago and it has since bcome my main marinade for pork. I even use it on my roasts. Sometimes I add some chopped rosemary and I always mince some garlic or use powder. Thanks for the great recipe!
