Pork Tenderloin With Honey Grape Sauce

OH MY! I found this recipe in an Allrecipes cookbook and tried it tonite for the first time. It was soooooo good. The only thing I would do different next time is double the sauce since we would prefer more than the recipe made, although for you it may be fine. We love cooking with the Asian five-spice powder, but if you dont, feel free to omit it.
