Pineapple Pork Tenderloin

We have been making this pork tenderloin recipe for years and it is one of our favorites.  This recipe combines the flavors of pork, soy sauce, honey, ginger, and pineapple.  Pork is a smart choice because it is a lean source of protein and thus does not contain much fat.

Serves 8.
