Story

Pork tenderloin is a great value because it's all meat - no waste. Use a meat thermometer and check the pork to be sure it's 155 degrees internally, then remove and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into pieces.
The jerk seasoning, pineapple, and lime flavors give this dish a very nice Caribbean inspired taste. Enjoy!
