I agree with the comments about 5 spice pdr. Leave it out if you don't like it but if you do, this is a delicious recipe just as it is. I used green grapes that were past their prime. It is a great way to use up grapes that aren't crisp anymore. The pork and sauce are very good together. This is a "make again" according to my family.

This is a very flavorful recipe. Make sure you like 5-spice powder or you may be disappointed. I used an immersion blender for the sauce and it worked perfectly. Served with roasted new potatoes and a salad and it was great!

I tried this recently and when I browned the pork roast, added sesame seed and sm. amt of asian 5 spice. It was wonderful. Thanks

I ended up baking the pork in a shallow dish at 325 for 45 minutes. The pork turned out great. The grape sauce leaves something to be desired. Was not work the work to make the sauce. Will not make again.

Sorry, I didn't much care for the 5-spice flavor in this recipe. I prefer cooking pork tenderloin with wine instead.

Delicious! Wish I had more sauce, may double it next time. Everyone loved it including the kids (12 and 5) but I served their sauce on the side. Such an different and enjoyable way to serve pork tenderloin. I didn't have fresh gingeroot so I substituted crystalized ginger. Served it with roasted red potatoes. Plan on making this for guests.

This was not one of my favorite recipes.The meat turned out well but I was not impressed with the sauce. My kids wouldn't eat it, and my husband thought it was alright. Maybe I am not use to the taste of the 5 spice.
