Jamaican Pork Tenderloin

Submitted by HeatherN

"This tenderloin is absolutely fantastic! Everyone I've served it to has loved it. It's a little different than the other Jamaican Pork Tenderloin recipes so I wanted to post it here so I don't have to drag out the big recipe book. You might be thinking..."two tenderloins sounds like a lot, maybe I'll halve the recipe..." Trust me, you want to make the full recipe! I have always served it with Zatarains Caribbean Rice, but next time I'll try one of the rice recipes on Zaar. Time listed does NOT include marinade time so plan ahead!"
