This was very easy to make, and quite tasty. In fact, the only "negative" comment I can think to make is that I believe this is not the best use for pork tenderloin, which is an expensive cut of meat that doesn't need 45 minutes in the oven to be tender. I think next time I make this I will use boneless pork chops; I think it will be just as good and won't cost quite as much. (I might even add a little mustard to the sauce, and perhaps some white wine.) I particularly liked the subtle taste of rosemary in this dish; I often find rosemary overpowering but the amount here is just perfect for me. My family loved this dish; thanks for posting it!

Very easy and the sauce is wonderful! Made this for dinner last night along with mashed potatoes. The sauce doubled as a "gravy" for the potatoes! Thanks Kelly-I'll make this often. I imagine you could use boneless pork chops as well.

I made this last night and everyone kept coming back for more. Good thing I doubled the recipe! The aroma as it cooked was heavenly. I loved that it was so easy to make and the sauce was wonderful. I've already been told to make this one again very soon. Thanks for a great recipe!
