  1. I’m sure it says somewhere in the recipe, but I can’t find it. How large is the pork tenderloin that you used??

  2. This looks amazing!And we love our pork!!Found you on pinterest,sign me up for your newsletter,foodie friend?!

    1. It’d be delicious with grilled veggies and potatoes, or a simple rice or pasta side. I’d keep the flavors mild in the side and let the bourbon and peach salsa shine 🙂
