Place tenderloins in center of cooking grate. Grill 25 to 30 minutes for medium (160°F/71°C) and centers are still slightly pink, turning occasionally throughout grilling time to brown them evenly.

This recipe is WONDERFUL. I was most surprised by how good it was. I cooked the pork in the oven. I just didn't feel like hanging out at the grill. It was just great. This is a wonderful recipe for company or a large family gathering.

Another winner from our own Miss ~Rita. What a great tenderloin. It was moist, tender and delicious. It tasted as wonderful as it smelled while grilling. The combo of spices & seasonings was perfect. My very picky dh was in heaven. No sauce for him, means plenty for me. This sauce is not to be missed. The apricots, thyme, sherry wine vinegar and crystallized ginger created a very memorable treat. This dish was quick and easy to make with excellant results. We will be enjoying this again often during the grilling season. Thanks for sharing Rita. Made for Herbs of the Month - Rosemary :)

So good!!! Make the pork exactly as stated using dried herbs. The smell from the grill was amazing. The sauce I used Red Wine vinegar and bottled crushed ginger, not crystallized and it was fabulous.
