4 Grilled Pork Recipes To Try Before Autumn Sets In!

Dan Clapson - Thursday, September 5, 2013

It’s that time of year where the kids have gone back to school and work is gearing up again. Vacations are over for the most part and all you have to look forward to is the weekend. Depressing? Maybe a little bit, but don’t forget that, here in Calgary, we get some of our most beautiful weather of the year in September.

That being said, I’m crossing my fingers for warm, sunny weekends for at least another four weeks. There’s no need to retire those barbecue tongs quite yet. Invite some friends over for a bite to eat and try out one of these 4 great grilled pork recipes as the leaves slowly fade from green to autumn orange.

(Psst…if you’re looking for some of the best cuts of pork the city has to offer, swing by Spragg’s Meat Shop in the Calgary Farmers’ Market between Thursday and Sunday. Aside from big pork chops to back ribs, they have some pretty killer bacon!)

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Wild Berry Port Sauce

Last, but not least, Food Network Canada to the rescue with this grilled pork tenderloin. Since life is always better with a little bit of booze, this berry and port sauce should hit the spot just fine.
