Grilled Sage Pork Tenderloin with Cranberry-Apple Relish

Pork tenderloin presents two basic problems: As the leanest cut on the pig, it easily overcooks, and it is usually sold in a vacuum pack of two unevenly shaped pieces. We found three techniques to deal with these problems for our Grilled Sage Pork Tenderloin with Cranberry-Apple Relish recipe. We cut the tenderloins into pieces for even cooking. To prevent dryness, we used high heat to cook the pork tenderloins very quickly, and removed them from the heat while they were still a little pink in the center. We also removed the thinner tail-end pieces from the grill a bit early to keep them from overcooking. Our Cranberry-Apple Relish recipe relies on vinegar, apple jelly, and a fresh apple for full, robust flavor that delightfully complements the Grilled Sage Pork Tenderloin.

Dear Home Cook,

If I were new to CooksCountry.com, I might think, "It's easy to get free recipes on the Internet. What makes your recipes different?" Well, unlike recipes from blogs, message boards, and other recipe sites, our recipes are exhaustively tested by our team of full-time test cooks until they offer consistently great results. That means fried chicken with a crunchy coating and moist meat, a low-fat recipe makeover for macaroni and cheese that’s as creamy and cheesy as the full-fat version, and fork-tender slow cooker pot roast.

We're obsessive in our quest to find and foolproof the best of American home cooking, from fuss-free weeknight dinners, to updated, simplified versions of regional specialties, to slow cooker and make ahead meals. CooksCountry.com is the only place you can find every foolproof recipe published in Cook’s Country magazine since 2005, plus objective ratings and test results from both Cook’s Country and Cook’s Illustrated for cookware and supermarket ingredients.

Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I’m pretty confident that CooksCountry.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from a quick Tuesday supper to your next get-together with family and friends.

Thanks for your consideration,

Christopher Kimball
