Balsamic Honey Tenderloin

Submitted by Irmgard

"This recipe came to me recently in one of several online newsletters I subscribe to. With pork tenderloin being on special this weekend, I decided to try it. It is actually a barbeque recipe but I did it indoors on the broiler with good results. It was good with one hour of marinating so you can imagine how good it would be with a full 24!"

I found this recipe in the Best of Bridge series. This is a nice, easy marinade for pork. I used one tenderloin and cut the recipe in half. I would use this one again

This is SO good. I used a grainy sweet bavarian mustard for this. It is SO flavorful and kept the meat moist. I do think it would be even better with more garlic! I marinated 24 hours and wrapped each tenderloin in heavy duty foil and tossed it on the grill. No fuss, no muss! Perfectly flavored pork tenderloin. It's a keeper for sure.
