Polish Pork Tenderloin in Apple-Onion Sauce & Sauerkraut
"Made this for Easter with fresh pork from a local farm. ABSOLUTELY delicious and tender. Very unfussy, great for everyday. I use Polish Grill Seasoning but you can use any seasoning or make your own with any combo such as 1 tsp. each of marjoram, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika."

Scrumptious! Very tender and the flavor was awesome! It sounded a little weird, onion soup mix and applesauce, but I'm so glad I tried it. I used bouquet garni as the rub, homemade sauerkraut with a little white wine instead of apple juice (but having made it now I would like to try it with apple juice, it's probably great, we just never have any around). I turned the temperature up to 400 after removing the foil to speed things up, and it was very tender. Thank you for the great recipe!
