We loved this! I had a bone-in pork tenderloin (I know! I've never seen that before either), so it did have to cook quite a bit longer. I used crushed pineapple, apple butter, a little fig preserves and cooked it down awhile for consistency. I used the rosemary, of course. Even DH loved it and he is normally against anything sweet, except dessert.

Loved this even though I'm sure I didn't find the pineapple preserves but... I did use the pineapple topping for ice cream. :) I think it worked great. I omitted the horseradish only because I didn't use apple jelly...stupid me I read it as pepper jelly. So that's where I got the heat and the redness from. Anyway I thought this was excellent! The meat was so moist. The cooking time was spot on. Thanks for posting :)

Made this pretty much as written, but did take a tip from several reviewers & cut back on the horseradish, using just 1 tablespoon of the stuff, &, although that was plenty for me, my other half would probably have enjoyed the full amount! Nice marinade, great sauce & a really outstanding pork dinner! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe tag]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful dish `Nimz~. My family & I enjoyed this extremley tasty dish very much. The marinade which was excellant, made the meat extra flavourful, very moist and tender. I especially loved the addition of the sherry wine to the marinade. The meat was perfectly cooked and topped with an excellant sweet, spicy, hot and fruity sauce. I also couldn't find pineapple preserves, so I subed with a good quality pineapple jam, the fresh ginger and horseradish blended well with it....delicious. Thank you for a new family favourite, another keeper.

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
