Grilled Pork Tenderloin


For a company-worthy summertime meal, serve grilled pork tenderloin with spicy-sweet blackberry sauce and pair with salad greens. The simple five-ingredient sauce also works well with chicken.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Oher: 25 minutes
Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2  (3/4-lb.) pork tenderloins
  • 1  tablespoon  olive oil
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  Caribbean jerk seasoning
  • 1  teaspoon  salt
  • 2/3  cup  seedless blackberry preserves
  • 1/4  cup  Dijon mustard
  • 2  tablespoons  rum or orange juice
  • 1  tablespoon  orange zest
  • 1  tablespoon  grated fresh ginger

Preparation

1. Preheat grill to 350° to 400° (medium-high) heat. Remove silver skin from tenderloins, leaving a thin layer of fat. Brush tenderloins with oil, and rub with seasoning and salt.
2. Grill tenderloins, covered with grill lid, 10 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 155°. Remove from grill, and let stand 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, whisk together blackberry preserves and next 4 ingredients in a small saucepan, and cook over low heat, whisking constantly, 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
4. Cut pork diagonally into thin slices, and arrange on a serving platter; drizzle with warm sauce.
