Island Pork Tenderloin
Good Morning! I have another yummy recipe that Aunt Jay made for y’all! We used to make this all the time years ago, and I had forgotten about it! It is made in the oven but the unique flavor definitely reminds me of Spring! She served hers with Mashed Potatoes and Southern Style Green Beans. Winner Winner Pork Tenderloin Dinner!
