This was a tasty marinade. DH did not like it as much as I did. We sliced the tenderloins in slices. It was very tender. Thanks Vicki. Made for Cookbook tag

Very good marinade with just enough bite to it. The pork was tender, even grilled under the broiler. Made for the Aussie Swap.

I used this to marinade pork loin cutlets instead of kebabs and cooked them on a cast iron grill pan - delicious! I forgot to add the brown sugar and it was noticeable but the other flavours were lovely. Made for ZWT3.

A very fun and interesting marinade that we completely enjoyed! It was loved by all of us. We served it with a side of rice and kabobs of pepper, onion, and zucchini slices. Delicious!
