- Keep warm.
- Remove the tenderloins from the oven and let stand 5 to 10 minutes, before slicing.
- Carefully skim and discard the fat from the pan juices.
- Pour the degreased pan juices into the sauce.
- Bring the sauce to a boil again, reduce the heat and simmer until it is slightly reduced again.
- Serve the pork sliced with the warm honey-mustard sauce.

I'm a Secretary that has lived all my life in the same old town. I know everyone and everyone knows me, and that's just the way I like it. I love to cook (of course), waterski, snowski, snowmobile, hike, cave, rock climb etc. I guess I am pretty active. I also love to travel. I'm single, never married, no kids. I grew up in a really large family, there were 10 of us kids and so I have tons of nieces and nephews to spoil. I think my favorite cookbook is now Zaar!
