I love pork tenderloin but my husband does not as a general rule. I made this and the only change I made was to use pineapple juice intead of orange juice. This was so tender and just delicious. Husband agreed this was the best pork tenderloin that he ever had. Glad to finally have a recipe that he will enjoy too. Yes, definitely a keeper.

I followed recipe as written but used a 2 lb. tenderloin and substituted jellied cranberry for the sauce. Came out great, so tender and moist. We used the sauce over the meat and brown rice. The OJ really brings out the flavor. This was simple and elegant, thanks for a new favorite!

This recipe is one of our favorites. It makes a ton of sauce, so we double the amount of pork & the sauce is plenty.~ Theresa

I did a recipe very similar to this about 2 years ago for Christmas dinner. My family went crazy over it. I thought my father was going to bust if He ate any more of it.E. Smith -- Athens, GA

I would personally choose coriander as a substitute for cloves in this particular recipe. I love cloves, but the coriander is subtler for most taste buds.

Herbs that go well with pork are caraway seeds, coriander, cumin, curry powder, dill, garlic, rosemary, sage, fennel, savory and thyme .... take your pick.

Is there another spice to add since our family does not care for the taste of cloves?

My family LOVES this recipe! It's perfect for Sunday dinner company. There is no need to double the sauce when cooking twice the amount of meat.
