Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours; turn occasionally. Let stand for 30 minutes at room temperature before cooking. Place tenderloins on rack in roasting pan, reserving marinade. Pour 1 C. water into pan. Bake, basting generously four times, in a 375 oven for 30-35 minutes, or until meat thermometer inserted at 20 degree angle registers 160 and meat still has a hint of pink. Remove to cutting board, and tent with foil. Let stand for 10 minutes. Remove string. Using sharp knife, slice pork diagonally into thin slices.
