This recipe is perfect for barbecues and parties! A spicy citrus marinade adds plenty of flavor to the tenderloin overnight. Then you can grill the meat in just minutes the next day. —Rosetta Hockett of Colorado Springs, Colorado

Ingredients

1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup chopped green onions
1 jalapeno pepper
3 tablespoons minced fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon each ground allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 pork tenderloins(1 pound each)

Directions

In a food processor, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, lemon juice, oil, onion, green onions, jalapeno, thyme, salt, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and pepper. Cover and process until smooth. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate overnight.
Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare the grill for indirect heat using a drip pan.
Place pork over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium-hot heat for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
