Prepare this Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Plum-Cassis Marinade and be ready to receive the accolades of your guests. This recipe is the one that convinced me that you should use your smoker for more than just salmon. It’s from the cookbook “Marinades” by Jim Tarantino. Better if you use apple, cherry, or pecan wood. Hope you enjoy it if you try it.
