The marinade for this grilled pork tenderloin is laden with lots of wonderful flavors, like cinnamon, honey and garlic. It turns out perfectly every time and always impresses. —Cathleen Bushman, Geneva, Illinois

This was popular with everyone in my house but me. I guess I found the cinnamon flavor a little too unusual. It came out nice and juicy from my broiler, but I don't think I'd make it again.

LOVED IT The pork was very tender and had lots of flavor. My husband keeps bugging me to make it again.

This was easy and got rave reviews from my dinner guests (served it with candied carrots). I did add one extra clove of garlic (slivered and stuffed into the loin). Keeper!

Very easy and tasty. The first time I used this recipe I used boneless pork chops (on sale) and baked them. This time I used pork tenderloin and marinated it for 8 hours instead of 4-6 as suggested. I broiled it on low for 30-40 minutes. Can't remember exact time because I did not use timer. It was much better the second time around! Definitely a keeper.

My husband, 10 year old son and I love this recipe. We like it with cooked caramel apples and candied carrots.

Excellent recipe. I baked it in a 350F oven 25-30 mins (depends on size of the tenderloin), with the sauce spooned over the meat & basted a couple of times near end of cooking.
