Spicy Blueberry Pork Tenderloin
Even if you don’t like blueberries with pork I guarantee you will enjoy this pork tenderloin. This was easy to prepare and loaded with flavor. The sauce is so good you will want to eat it with a spoon all by itself.
Recipe adapted from Food Network
Ingredients-
1 pork tenderloin (1 ½ pounds)
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/8 teaspoon chipotle pepper
Zest and juice from 1 orange
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard divided
1 tablespoon honey
Directions:
- Line a baking dish with aluminum foil. Spray with olive oil spray.
- Place tenderloin in the baking dish. Rub all over with 1-2 tablespoons whole grain mustard. Season with salt and pepper on all sides. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or preferably overnight.
- Add blueberries, orange juice and zest, chipotle pepper, honey, and 1 tablespoon mustard to a medium saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until berries begin to burst and the sauce thickens. Set sauce aside or refrigerate if prepping in advance.
- Preheat the boiler.
- Broil on high. Rotate the meat every 5 minutes. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. Let rest 5 minutes tented with foil.
- Slice the pork and serve with blueberry sauce.
- Enjoy! I served this with Apple, Pear, and Walnut Salad and Carrot Fries with Curry Peach Yogurt Dipping Sauce (see Recipes in Sides/Salads).
