Made this over the weekend (well - sort of) and it was delish. The full recipe is below but I only made the tenderloin.

Here is the way I did it:

1) I doubled the sauce/marinda recipe and marinated the pork in it half of it for a few hours and reserved the rest.

2) Prior to cooking, I readied 1 cup of chicken stock near the skillet.

3) I cooked the tenderloin in a hot skillet and included all of the liquid from the ziplock bag I marinated the tenderloin in. It didn't take long for the sauce to get thick and syrupy. When it looked like the sauce could burn, I kept adding small portions of the chicken stock to keep the sauce a sauce:)

4) Once the pork was done, I removed it from the skillet at added the rest of the stock as well as the reserved portion of marinade. Once heated through I added 1 Tbsp. of butter and stirred until absorbed.

This looks really tasty. Did you serve with sweet potatoes or ? I think I'd like rice to

soak up the sauce.

 
Rice:) Hubby doesn't care for sweet potatoes (I'm not so crazy over them either)

Although I just made sweet potato wedges glazed with a maple syrup curry mixture to take to a Hanukkah party tonight (although w/ roasted cauliflower, carrots and butternut squash).
