Honey-Gingered Pork Tenderloin - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (3/4 lb) pork tenderloin
    1/4 cup honey
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    1/4 cup oyster sauce
    2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
    1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    1 tablespoon ketchup
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    For sauce
    1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth (optional)
    1 tablespoon cornstarch (or enough as needed) (optional)
Preparation
    Pat the pork dry and arrange in a shallow baking dish.
    Whisk together remaining ingredients in a bowl, and pour over pork.
    Place in refrigerator and MARINATE AT LEAST 8 hours, but 24 is better.
    Turn at least twice during this time.
    Preheat oven to 400 Degrees.
    Remove pork, placing in a clean shallow baking dish (non-stick is perfect).
    Reserve marinade if you wish to make a sauce with it.
    Bake about 35 minutes, or until meat thermometer registers 155 degrees.
    Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes and slice thinly.
    For sauce: Strain reserved marinade into a sauce pan.
    Add chicken broth, and bring to a boil.
    Cook down to about half original quantity.
    Add cornstarch as needed to thicken.
    This sauce is rather strong, I usually just nap the plates with it and pass the rest at table.
