1 1/2 pounds apples, peeled, cored and diced
1/4 cup granulated sugar

- For Pork Tenderloin: In
a food processor fitted with a metal blade, process garlic until
chopped. Add tamari, currant jelly, sherry, mustard and thyme;
blend well. Add gingerroot but do not process.

hours or overnight, turning pork at least once.
- Remove pork from dish,
reserving marinade. Preheat grill and coat rack with nonstick
vegetable spray.
- Place pork on grill and
sear for 1 minute each side. Cover grill and cook 15 to 18 minutes,
or until a meat thermometer registers 150 to 155°F (approximately
65°C), turning pork every 5 minutes.
- Allow pork to sit for
5 minutes before carving into thin slices.
- When ready to serve, divide
pork slices among dinner plates and accompany each serving with
Tangy Applesauce.
- For Tangy Applesauce:
Place apples in a medium saucepan over moderately low heat; add
sugar, water, vanilla bean and cinnamon stick. Cover and cook
25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool to room temperature.
Remove cinnamon stick and add horseradish; blend well. Refrigerate,
covered, until ready to serve. (Can be made the night before.)
