Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Chunky Spiced applesauce, Swiss Baked Potatoes and Broccoli!!

OK...I will give 4 stars for the pork and 4+ stars for the potatoes and cranberry spiced applesauce!!! I had hoped the marinade for the pork would have added a little more flavour. Still....excellent choice and extremely tender!!!
