Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1-2 pound pork tenderloin
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 3/4 cup cherry preserves
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon molasses
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Let tenderloin sit out at room temperature while creating the sauce.
  • Saute the onions in butter in a small saucepan until translucent.
  • Add all remaining ingredients to saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer sauce to blender and puree until smooth.
  • Pour sauce into two separate bowls to prevent cross contamination.
  • Using one bowl with a smaller amount of sauce, brush liberally onto the raw meat.
  • Add more sauce to this bowl as needed, but throw away any sauce left in the bowl that is not used since the brush came in contact with raw meat.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place tenderloin on a wire rack sitting on top of a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145. Cook time will vary depending on thickness of the tenderloin.
  • Let meat rest for 5-10 minutes then slice on the bias and serve with remaining sauce.
