Mandarin Pork Tenderloin

There is NO SUCH THING as a 5 or 6 lb. pork tenderloin, SO, you must be thinking of a Pork Loin (Pork chops) which makes a dry lousy roast, unfit for human fare..

I used this on left over pork loin; also added part of a cream cheese roll that had apricots on out side. I forgot the vinegar and omitted the onions since id added the cream cheese. I'll try with all ingredients next time!! Delicious!

I just asked my butcher for a 5 lb tenderloin... he is still laughing!!! I hope you mean loin roast as I want to make this, a little worried it will be dry. :(
