Plum jam, soy sauce, brown sugar and fruit soda combine to make a splendid marinade for juicy, grilled pork tenderloin. Try serving it sliced over a simple salad of baby lettuces for a sensational summer meal.
INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup plum jam
- 3/4 cup black cherry soda
- 1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin
PREPARATION:
In a small sauce pan, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, and jam over low heat until sugar has dissolved. Reserve 1/4 cup of sauce for basting the tenderloin while grilling. Combine remaining sauce with soda in a large plastic resealable bag; place meat in bag, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Preheat grill for medium heat.
Lightly oil preheated grill, and discard marinade. Cook tenderloin for 15 to 20 minutes, or to desired doneness, basting occasionally with reserved sauce. Remove meat from grill, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/4 inch thick medallions.
