Sugar 'n' Spice Pork Tenderloin from the James Beard House image

I took this from Leite's Culinaria http://www.leitesculinaria.com/recipes/jbh/sugar_pork.html (It is a part of a recipe by Neal Langermann of Georgia Brown Washington, DC.) He also includes a gravy and a succotash with the tenderloin and you can find those with the link above. Cooking time here includes brining time.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but this recipe changed my mind. The sugar-n-spice rub is amazing and the pork is cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.

This pork tenderloin recipe is a keeper! The sugar-n-spice rub creates a delicious crust on the outside, while the inside remains juicy and tender. I served it with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes, and it was a hit with my family.
