Here in Michigan, the outdoor grilling season is pretty short, so I often use my oven for "grilling." The barbecue sauce is equally good on chicken or shrimp.—Diane Nemitz, Ludington, Michigan

Ingredients:
• 1 jar (16 ounces) chunky salsa
• 1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple
• 1/2 cup port wine or grape juice
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup thawed orange juice concentrate
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
• PORK:
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each)
• Lime wedges

Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the first nine ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook 20-25 minutes or until mixture is reduced by half, stirring occasionally.

2. Meanwhile, for pork, mix spices; rub over tenderloins. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly. Grill tenderloins, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 18-22 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145°, turning occasionally.

3. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with salsa and lime wedges.
