Pork Tenderloin, Ginger Barbecue Sauce
This is a slightly hot barbecue sauce with the heat coming from the dry mustard and ginger. Add more if you like – or had hot sauce for more heat.
There should be enough of the Barbecue Sauce left for another meal – it’s great on chicken!

Notes
I used all of the BBQ sauce to calculate the nutrition info, There is 204 calories in the recipe, or 102 per serving We normally only eat about half of it.
Pork should be done to an internal temp of 145F (62C) – which means it will be slightly pink in the center.
Remove 2 – 3 tbs barbecue sauce to use for basting rather than dipping the basting brush or spoon into the entire sauce.
