Pork with Strawberry-Port Sauce image

I never thought to add fruit to barbecue sauce, but after I saw a contest-winning recipe with the two, I decided to try something similar with pork. I'm glad I did-this turned out to be a family favorite! -Lily Julow, Gainesville, FL

I love how versatile this dish is. You can easily adjust the sweetness of the sauce by adding more or less sugar. You can also add different spices to create a different flavor profile.

I found that using a good quality port wine really made a difference in the flavor of the sauce. Don't skimp on the wine!

The pork was cooked to perfection! It was so tender and juicy. I highly recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to your desired doneness.

Not a fan of the strawberry-port sauce. It was a bit too sweet for my taste.
