Honey Spice- Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

Jack and I love eating tenderloin.  I found this recipe on Kraft.com.  I was unsure how much I would like it because I am not big on spicy food, but it really has an amazing flavor.  The first time I made this was the night of the big storm.  The recipe looked quick and easy and that is what we needed because we were afraid the power was going to go out.  It is one of the easiest recipes I have tried.  I also made this a few weeks ago for girls night.  It is one that we are putting in our recipe flip book that we keep out in the kitchen!  We use it for all of our favorite recipes that we plan on making frequently.
