    i didn't care for the marmalade taste on the pork. The kids liked it though and the hubby did as well.

    Good. I used apricot jelly and it worked great.

    @Meridith, apricot jelly is a great substitute. You could also use canned cranberry jelly!

    I used the apricot jelly but omitted the ginger since my hubby is not a fan, I used chicken stock instead of the tbs of water and unfortunately I had to get a rosemary herb seasoned pork loin because it was on sale but the outcome was still really tasty! The apricot gave it a very nice glaze. I had to cook mine a little longer; total cooking time was 40 minutes for a 1.75lbs. I served it with couscous cooked with pepitas (roasted pumpkin seeds), dried cranberries, shallots, onions and used chicken stock instead of water and as a veggie I served buttered broccoli. Plates were cleaned!

    Margaritte--funny that your hubby's not a ginger fan--mine's not, either! I wonder... would he tolerate a little bit of five spice or garam masala, instead? I bet those would both be wonderful with this, too...

    Margaritte, that sound's really delicious. I encourage you to keep experimenting. Sometimes, the best recipes are come up with by trying different things and even accidents!

    The tenderloin was very moist. I added worchestershire sauce to make the marmalade thinner and less sweet. Then the leftovers I used later in the week to make pulled pork BBQ sandwiches! A winner.

    Another great sauce/marmalade for pork tenderloin is one of my favorite personal recipes: INGREDIENTS: 1 large red onion, thinly sliced, olive oil, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup dry red wine, 3 T. red wine vinegar, 1/2 ts salt, 1/2 cup finely diced mango. DIRECTIONS: In a large saucepan, sweat the onion in olive oil over medium-low heat until softened, about 20 minutes. Add the sugar and stir until incorporated. Next, add the red wine vinegar and then the red wine, stirring while adding. Add a pinch of salt and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes, until the onions are dark and caramelized. Remove from heat and add the mango once cool. Serve with the roasted pork tenderloin. YUM!
