This dish brings the bold flavors of the classic sauce to tender grilled pork tenderloin. The method comes to us from Southern Sideboards , a 1978 Junior League cookbook from Jackson, Mississippi.

Add the pork and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate, turning the meat occasionally, for at least 8 hours, or up to 10 hours. Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat.

Drain the pork and pat dry, discarding the marinade. Place the pork on the grill, cover with the lid, and cook, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 140°F, 15–20 minutes. For the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the horseradish and mustard.

Whisk in the apple jelly, pineapple preserves, and black pepper. On a platter, arrange the sliced pork and garnish with parsley leaves.
