overcook.
  • Mix together wine, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic and rosemary; put into zipper-top
    plastic bag. Add loin and marinate, refrigerated, 1 - 2 hours, turning bag occasionally
    (longer if meat is from an older animal).
  • Start grill. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry.
    Bring to room temperature before grilling.
  • While grill heats, pour marinade into a small
    pan. Over high heat, cook down to about 1/2 cup. Stir in current jam or jelly. Strain, discarding
    solids.
  • Grill meat over direct heat, turning to brown all sides. Allow 6 -8 minutes per
    inch of thickness. Use an instant-read thermometer (125 degrees F is medium rare) or make a
    small cut to check doneness. Don't overcook or meat will be dry and tasteless.
  • Let rest on
    warm platter a few minutes to distribute juices within the meat. Serve whole or sliced into 1"
    rounds with the current sauce.
