This was pretty good. I don't usually read previous reviews before I make a recipe but in this case I really wish I had. I roasted my pork tenderloin at 325 per step 1 in the Directions, for 50 minutes & it just was not enough. I roasted it another 10 & then let it sit out of the oven, tented with foil, for 10 minutes more. If I had read Carrol's review first I would have roasted this at 375 instead. I felt the sauce (which I did double) tasted more like a sweet & sour than a savory sauce, but was good anyway. Thanks for sharing, Marly! Made for Fall 2009 Pick A Chef.

I spoke to the chef because I was concerned about the weight of the meat used compared to the correct cooking times since they weren't listed. She told me she usually used 2 lb pork tenderloin roasts and bakes them at 375 degrees for approximately 40 to 50 minutes or the equivalent of 20 minutes per pound. I followed her instructions and was extremely pleased. This recipe produces a wonderful tasting Pork loin. My husband loved it and wished there would have been more sauce. He loved the sauce so much that next time I will double it. Thanks Marty...this was wonderful!

We really enjoyed the pork prepared this way. My dh likes his pork well done, so the delicious sauce was a must. The sage and garlic rub is a nice base for the sweet and tangy sauce. Thank you for sharing a recipe that we will enjoy again and again. Made for Spring Pac 2014.
