Spicy Pork Tenderloin

J and I love our meals with a little kick. Justin takes it to the extreme (my taste buds are a tad wimpier), but we share a mutual adoration for all things spicy. It came as no surprise that this recipe was a huge success for last night's supper. Mmmm. Spicy, but not too crazy, with a hint of sweetness and lots of flavor. I cooked mine in the oven because I don't have a grill. I know, it's a hard life. I also added a dash of cayenne pepper and cut the brown sugar by one cup. I even had the leftovers for lunch today. Anyone that knows me knows it must have been good. I typically don't do leftovers. So, without further adieu, here's the recipe:
