The outside temperature in Georgia today was only a high of 84. Since there was a break in the heat, I decided to cook out on the grill today. I had a pork tenderloin in the fridge, and some cherries. I decided to make a cherry sauce for the pork.
Ginger Cherry Sauce
2 cups dark red cherries
2 green onions
2-4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 Tbls Spenda
1 tsp ground Ginger
1/2 tsp Chinese Five Spice powder
Pit the cherries, and cut them into two or three pieces. Chop the onions and garlic. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Stir well to combine, and cook on medium heat until the liquid is reduced by half. Stir often to prevent burning.
To cook my pork tenderloin, I rinsed and dried it, then sprinkled generously with meat tenderizer and black pepper. Cut in half, and put in a disposable 8″X8″ aluminum pan. Pour all Ginger Cherry Sauce over the pork, reserving about 1/3 cup.
Place the pan uncovered on a charcoal grill with hot coals. Close the cover of the grill, and let the pork cook for 25 minutes. Turn the meat over, baste with sauce from the pan, close the grill, and cook another 10 minutes. Serve with reserved sauce.
This turned out so good! Tender, moist, and very tasty.
Oh, I love a good tenderloin! And the cherry sauce sounds amazing! I’ll give this a try!
Yum, pork is a treat in our house- I love the idea of the garlic and cherry. I’ll have to make this next week!
Summertime is my favorite time to try out new recipes. Definitely adding this one to the list.
This looks delicious. Not to mention easy! We haven’t used our grill in a while. How long would you cook it in the Crock Pot?
Seeing that a few of the ingredients you have made this recipe with (Chines 5 Spices and ginger) I can tell without tasking it that it will be marvelous. Cooking this on the grill is definitely the way to go for summer.
LOL. I love hearing southern people talk about the weather. 84 was a break in the heat. I love it!
Oh wow, this sauce sounds beyond delish! I’ll have to try this for something different on grill nights!
That sounds delicious! I’ve never thought of the combination of ginger and cherry but I can’t wait to try it out!
That looks and sounds so good! I will have to make this for my family! Love the combination of foods!
This looks so delicious! Perfect for summertime entertaining with friends.
I love pork tenderloin but have never tried it with a cherry sauce. That sounds amazing! Its been over 105 degrees everyday for two weeks where I live. I bet 84 feels heavenly.
I love that this is done on the BBQ
That ginger cherry sauce sounds ah-mazing. I have to buy the ingredients to make some for myself 🙂
I love cooking with apple cider vinegar! I’ve never cooked with cherries before aside from baking. This just looks so good!! 😀
Oh that does sound good. I’d love to try it on pork and maybe some other meals too.
This looks delicious! I just want to eat the sauce to be honest!
Everything about this sounds so good! I haven’t had pork tenderloin in ages, but now I really want it!
Oh my goodness. I’ve already eaten dinner, but you’re making me hungry!
oh this looks fabulous! We grill a lot throughout the summer and I can’t wait to try this recipe.
I will have to share the link to your recipe with my mom. She LOVES pork tenderloins.

This pork with ginger cherry sauce looks and sounds delicious. I love that it is easy to make.
I don’t eat pork, but I do eat cherries! I love this ginger-cherry sauce and can imagine using it with chicken. In fact, for dinner tonight we had chicken breasts with a cherry glaze, and it was delicious. I’m sure I’ll be trying your ginger-cherry variation soon. Thanks!
This pork tenderloin recipe looks like it is delicious. I am going to try it out one evening this week.
Thank you for the recipe. We like tenderloin. So now we need to try the sauce.
this sounds spectacular – like a fancy chef recipe! I want to try it!
