Andrea snagged this recipe from her Mom, and it might have originally been a Looney-Spoons recipe. It’s pork tenderloin with maple syrup. Sure, there’s other stuff in it, but those are the two flavours that pop. Totally awesome.

Grate the 2 tsp Orange peel/zest, if necessary.
Trim the fat from the 1.5 lbs Pork tenderloin.
Prepare the marinade
In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients: 2 tsp Orange peel/zest, 1/2 cup Maple syrup (pure), 2 tbsp Soy sauce (sodium-reduced), 2 tbsp Ketchup (sodium-reduced), 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tsp Garlic (minced), 1.5 tsp Curry powder, 1.5 tsp Coriander (ground), and 1 tsp Worcestershiree sauce.
Place the 1.5 lbs Pork tenderloin in a large, heavy-duty, resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the pork and seal the bag.
Turn the bag several times to coat and then let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Cooking the meat
Transfer the pork and marinade to a small roasting pan or baking dish.
Roast, uncovered, at 350°F for 40 minutes. The pork should be slightly pink in the middle.
Let the pork stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice thinly.
Drizzle extra sauce over the pork and serve immediately.
