This was good, but we thought it was a little too sweet. I'll probably cut the brown sugar in half when I make this again. Thanks for sharing!

Oh MAMA...this is so delightful. I didnt have apple juice so I just added water but I doubt if it made any difference. I had exactly 2lbs of tenderloin but next time I will get a little more as there was a lot of extra sauce. The pork fell apart, could be cut with a fork and melted in your mouth. DD#1 who is a chef said it was great and really flavorful. I confiscated a piece for my lunch tomorrow to put on a homemade bun with lettuce, tomato and mayo and am eagerly looking forward to that!Thanx for one to go in my keeper file!
