pineapple pork tenderloin

This was so easy!  Mimi (7-yr-old) came back for seconds!  Eric (11-yr-old) said, "That was really good!"  What more can be said?

1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1/4 cup minced fresh ginger root
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. ground mustard
2 pork tenderloins (3/4 lb. each)
1 fresh pineapple, cut into 12 slices

In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients.  Pour 2/3 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag.  Add the pork;  seal bag and turn to coat.  Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.  Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.

Drain and discard marinade.  Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil;  using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.

Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan.  Place pork over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium-hot heat for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees, basting occasionally with reserved marinade.  Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, grill pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes on each side or until heated through;  serve with pork.
