not only was this so much fun to cook, i got to play with my injector- but the ingredients made a great roasted tenderloin! when it was done and i opened the oven the aroma of apples and cloves just reminded me of autumn! anyway, it was very juicy and tasty and i'll be making this again. -
All in all a pretty good dish. The apple butter gave a nice taste to the meat without being overwhelming. Nice fall recipe!! -
thank you for this recipe. I added cut up apples in the dish with the pork. Both turned out great. My whole family loved the flavor of the pork. very easy! I did cook it a little longer because my husband likes his meat well, well done!!!! It was still moist though! thanks -
This has got to be one of the best pork recipes I have ever cooked! I am not a huge fan of pork, but this is one I cannot get enough of when I make. We have even used it to serve at our daughter's birthday party. Every time I make it, everyone raves. It is just so yummy and it smells wonderful! I don't have a meat injector, so I just poke some holes in the meat. Tastes perfect!!!! Thank you for submitting a true keeper! -
I'm sorry, no one liked this at all.
