Makes: 4 servings
Prep 25 mins
Grill 30 mins

Ingredients

3/4 cup apple juice or white grape juice
1/2 cup dark rum or apple or white grape juice
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dried currants
1/2 cup dried cranberries or dried cherries
1 12 - 16 - ounce pork tenderloin
4 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions

For sauce: In a medium saucepan, bring 3/4 cup apple juice, rum and 1/4 cup water to boiling. Remove from heat; stir in raisins, golden raisins, currants and cranberries. Set aside.
Trim fat from pork. In a small bowl, combine sugar, salt and cinnamon. Brush tenderloin with oil. Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over tenderloin; rub in with your fingers.
For a charcoal grill, arrange hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium-high heat above pan. Place meat on grill rack over pan. Cover; grill for 30 to 35 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 155 degrees F. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-high. Adjust for indirect cooking. Grill as above, except place pork on a rack in a roasting pan.) Remove pork from grill. Cover pork with foil and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. (The meat's temperature will rise 5 degrees F. during standing.)
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon water and cornstarch. Stir into raisin mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
To serve, slice pork diagonally. Fan out slices on a serving platter. Top with sauce.

Variation

To roast tenderloin: Prepare pork as above, except place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast, uncovered, in 425 degree F. oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in center registers 155 degrees F. Cover and let stand as above.
