PORK TENDERLOIN
with Raspberry Red Wine Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 package pork tenderloins (package should contain two tenderloins)
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 3 Tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
- 2 Tablespoons dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper generously
For Sauce
- One jar Bonne Maman Raspberry jelly
- ¼ Cup red wine
- fresh ground pepper,
- ¼ Teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray, and place the two pork tenderloins on top.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, dijon mustard, and salt and pepper. Cut small slits in the top of each of the tenderloins, about halfway through (about 6 slits on each). Rub the sauce over the top of the tenderloins.
- On the stove top melt raspberry jelly, red wine, pepper and nutmeg in saucepan
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, spooning the sauce over the top of the tenderloins every 10 minutes. This creates a super yummy glaze on top, and will soak into the slits you cut in the meat. Bake until a meat thermometer inserted in the largest part of the tenderloins reads 145.
- Remove tenderloins from the oven and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with sauce from the pan drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
