I have been cooking this for several year and it is a hit every time. The only suggestion I have is to double the sauce amount as your family or guests will definitely be going back for seconds. They will be putting it on their potatoes, they will be putting it in bread and buns; and if you can't control them it will end up on ice cream for desert. For the pork, I usually brown it in a skillet on the stove and then slide the skillet into the oven at 350F for about 20 minutes.

This was excellent! The flavors go perfectly together. We will make this again and again!

When I made this recipe I made a few changes - I left the cherry tomotoes whole (GREAT flavor and added to the appearnce of the plate) - I also grilled the pork instead of broiling. I made this dish for a Valentine's dinner and it was a HUGE hit!! I served it with purple potatoes.

Very good pork tenderloin, kinda sweet and sour flavour, I was surprized with the tomatoes, couldn't taste them, I think the blueberries and balsamic etc. overpowered them. Next time I will leave them out. I used sherry had no port and used splenda instead of regular sugar. The only problem was the outer part of the tenderloin, it was overdone and chewy but the inside was wonderful, juicy and very tender. Another time I will place them a little lower under the broiler and perhaps the outside wouldn't get toughened. The sauce was very good and we will certainly make this again, thanks for sharing.
