Pork Tenderloin with Blackberry Balsamic Glaze

Blackberry Balsamic Glazes turns pork tenderloin into an elegant dinner entree.

Ingredients:

• 2 - 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4-5 grinds of pepper
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 cup blackberry jelly
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp butter

Method:

1. Rub tenderloins with olive oil and then rub with spices.
2. Using oven: Once meat is rubbed, sear on all sides in a non stick fry pan. You don't want to cook it, just get a light crust and brown the outside. Place meat in a shallow baking pan and place uncovered in 350º oven for 18-20 minutes, or until internal temperature is 145º. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with sauce.
3. Using a Barbecue: Preheat barbecue to 350º and place tenderloins directly on grill. Turn every 5 minutes for even browning and cooking. This should take approximately 18 minutes, and your instant read thermometer should read 145º. Remove and let meat rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with sauce.
4. While meat in cooking, heat together, but do not boil, blackberry jelly, chicken stock and balsamic vinegar. Set aside.
5. Place sugar in a non stick fry pan and melt over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts and caramelizes.  ( do not leave sugar alone on stove top it burns very quickly) 
6. Add hot jelly mixture to caramelized sugar and stir until well blended. Turn to low and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
7. Place sliced tenderloin on a serving platter and pour some glaze over sliced meat. Pour the rest of the sauce into a gravy boat to serve along side. Serves 6.
