directions

  • Prepare grill.
  • Using sharp knife, cut tenderloin lengthwise almost in half, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Open and spread flat like a book.
  • With meat mallet or between two sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper with rolling pin, pound meat to 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Cut crosswise into 4 equal pieces; sprinkle cutlets with salt and pepper.
  • In small bowl, combine plum jam, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
  • Brush one side of each cutlet and cut side of each plum half with plum glaze.
  • Place cutlets and plums on grill over medium heat, glaze side down, and cook 3 minutes.
  • Brush cutlets and plums with remaining plum glaze; turn pork and plums over and cook until cutlets are lightly browned on both sides, just after lose their pink color throughout, and plums are hot, about 3 minutes longer.

  1. I never thought I liked Pork Tenderloin until I tried this. It is amazingly good. If you are not a plum person, you leave out the actual plums though. Yummy!!!
     
  2. Company worthy! I followed MaryMc's suggestion and set enough of the sauce aside to drizzle about a tablespoon over each serving - warmed slightly in the microwave before doing so.
     
  3. Good stuff!! DH loved it, too. Really tasty sauce. I had some boneless pork loin chops, so that's what I used, and they worked fine, but I want to try it with tenderloin. Next time I'm going to set aside some of the sauce before I stick the already-used basting brush back in it--that way I can safely put a little of it on at the table, after cooking.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a working mom of a beautiful little girl Keira Lynn. Watching her grow has been such a joy! My husband and I were married in May of 2006 on the beautiful island of Kauai. Since discovering this site, I have been cooking much more and have found some incredible recipes. I absolutely love to cook and try out new recipes, but have a handful of family favorites that I make quite often. My husband loves to cook as much as I do. To avoid anyone monopolizing the kitchen, we have to designate who gets to cook dinner in advance. He specializes in Asian cuisine and I love trying new healthy recipes. <a href="http://www.snugglepie.com"><img border="0" src="http://www.snugglepie.com/ezb/718035.png"></a>
