cup orange marmalade

1

teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

2

tablespoons water

1/2

lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch pieces

1

small zucchini, cut into 8 slices

• 1 Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 1-quart saucepan, heat marmalade, rosemary and salt to boiling, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; set aside.
• 2 In 1-quart microwavable bowl, place sweet potato pieces and water. Cover loosely with microwavable paper towel. Microwave on High 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once, just until potatoes are tender (do not overcook). Drain sweet potatoes; rinse with cold water.
