This recipe was a disappointment. The pork was tough and the sauce was bland.

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. It doesn't say how much pork tenderloin to use or what kind of fruit juice to use.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This was a great weeknight meal. It was easy to make and the pork was cooked to perfection. The sauce was also delicious. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family.

I'm not usually a fan of pork tenderloin, but this recipe changed my mind. The marinade and sauce really tenderized the meat, and the flavors were amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a hit at my last dinner party! The pork was tender and juicy, and the sauce was perfectly balanced between sweet and spicy. My guests raved about it, and I'll definitely be making it again soon.
