Cook Time30 Minutes
Ingredients
1 (2 lbs) pork tenderloin
1 Tbs pork rib rub
1 Tbs honey
1 tsp salt, divided
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 cups cherries, pitted and halved
1/2 cup bourbon
2 Tbs unsalted butter
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the rib rub, honey and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Rub into the meat. Heat a grill to medium. Place the pork on the grill, and close the lid. Cook for 8 minutes per side.

Add cherries and bourbon. Bring back to a simmer. Stir in the butter. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Let cool and thicken before serving.
- Transfer pork to a serving platter. Let rest for 10 minutes. Slice the tenderloin. Serve with sauce spooned over the top.
