Ingredients
1 (2 lbs) pork tenderloin
1 Tbs pork rib rub
1 Tbs honey
1 tsp salt, divided
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 cups cherries, pitted and halved
1/2 cup bourbon

Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the rib rub, honey and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Rub into the meat. Heat a grill to medium. Place the pork on the grill, and close the lid. Cook for 8 minutes per side.
