Just Peachy BBQ Pork Tenderloin

Alec and I made fresh peach preserves this year and while we have been enjoying it as an ice cream topping, on our toast and in our sandwiches, I just knew it would take us forever to eat all the jars of preserves we made.

One afternoon as I was looking around for a marinade for the pork tenderloin I wanted to cook for dinner I thought that I could probably whip up a very tasty barbecue sauce using the peach preserves.



And that's just what I did!  The sweetness of the peach preserves paired beautifully with the tangy BBQ flavor and it cooked up so nicely on the grill too.

Here's how I made the Peach Preserve BBQ Sauce:

1/2 cup ketchup
1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 Tablespoon minced onion flakes
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 cup peach preserves

I mixed up all the ingredients with a wire whisk in a small bowl then poured 1/2 of the mixture over the pork tenderloin and set it in the fridge to marinate for a few hours.



 We warmed up the grill to 350 and put the tenderloin on it.  I drizzled a bit of the BBQ sauce on it and closed the lid.  I opened the grill up every 15 minutes or so to turn the pork tenderloin and we used the leftover sauce to add a final glaze  on top just minutes before serving.


When the pork was done we took it off the grill and let it sit for just a few minutes before carving.


Then we served it up with some yummy squash casserole and egg noodles.


The peach gave the BBQ a nice sweet taste and it was honestly one of the best cooks of meat we've had in a long time.

This has definitely become a new family favorite.

    I'd love to; normally I would have stopped by over the weekend and linked up but we were on our way home from Niagara falls.

      It was so tasty! We could not get over it and decided we needed to try making it that way all the time.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

Things That Make Me Laugh

I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn
