Since it was snowing & blowing out on the BBQ deck, I cooked my loin at 325F for 2 1/2 hours. I basted it every 15 minutes until my meat thermometer alarm rang. The result was moist & tender with a delicious semi sweet sauce with just a hint of orange. Thanx Kristen!

I used a 3/4 lb. pork tenderloin for the two of us - this was wonderful. No leftovers either!

Ran out of propane so I baked it in the oven. One variation was that I coated it with cajun seasoning and browned it in the frying pan with a little oil before putting it in the oven with the sauce. It was very, very tasty!
