Wonderful! Delicious! Great flavor, and the recipe works right down to the last detail - and it's so EASY!!! The sauce is fantastic. I've made similar dishes with similar ingredients, but they've all used apple cider, so I was interested to see what using concentrated apple juice would do. First, it makes a wonderful marinade - the pork took on a beautiful color and glaze, and the flavor definitely seeped into the meat because I could taste the subtle sweetness of it when I ate it. The pork came out PERFECTLY. The apple juice concentrate also provided a nice punch of apple flavor to the sauce, which was so good and so simple to eat! I did substitute a white onion for the red onion, because my red onion disappeared for some reason, but other than that I stuck with the recipe, just halving the ingredients to make fewer portions. My husband told me to give you 5 stars, and 5 stars you shall have. We loved it, and will be making it again for sure!

I only made the marinade, but it was really good. I had a bit of trouble gettting it grilled to perfection (a little burnt), but that was the cook's fault!

This recipe is great! I used my rotisserie on my outdoor grill to cook the pork tenderloin. The flavor was wonderful and the pork came out very juicy and tender. I marinated the pork for about 24hrs. The sauce was divine! I was looking for an autumn dish that I could still use my grill and this fit the bill perfectly. My guests just loved it. I served this dish with homemade macaroni and cheese I made in advance because we were having some kids over and I was afraid they might not like the flavors in the pork but they ended up loving the pork as well. Thanks for the great recipe!

Simply delicious. My DD said to give it 10 stars and my husband is still talking about how great dinner was tonight. There wasn't a piece left over. I was hoping for my sauce to be a little thicker but the flavour was definitely there. I'll be making this one again. Thanks for posting it Miss Gracie.
