Place all rosemary pork ingredients in a gallon-

times to mix ingredients; refrigerate several hours
or overnight. Remove pork from bag and discard
marinade. Grill pork over medium heat, turning
occasionally, for about 40 minutes or until it
reaches an internal temperature of 150°F on a
meat thermometer.

cherries, Merlot, honey and vinegar in a medium
saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and
simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Stir in
cornstarch mixture and cook for a few minutes
more to thicken. Season to taste with salt and
pepper and serve over sliced cooked pork.
