1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided
2 (1 1/2 pounds) pork tenderloins
1/2 cup hot pepper jelly

Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Chill pineapple. Combine juice, teriyaki sauce, and 2 tablespoons vinegar in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Add pork, turning to coat. Chill, covered, overnight, turning occasionally.

Remove pork, reserving 2 tablespoons marinade.

Broil pork on a lightly greased rack in a broiler pan 4-inches from heat (with electric oven door partially open) 10 to 15 minutes on each side or until meat thermometer registers 160 degrees F.

Bring pineapple, reserved marinade, remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, and jelly to a boil in a saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes.

Serve over sliced tenderloins and couscous.

Tips: Prick pork with a fork and marinate 1 to 2 hours. For easy cleanup, use a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag instead of a baking dish.
