- 2 pork tenderloins
- Daddy Hinkle’s Original Dry & Liquid Seasonings
- ¼ cup Hiland Butter
- 1-2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 16 oz. pkg. JM Farms Sliced Mushrooms
- ½ cup medium salsa (or for more heat, use Level Three)
- ½ cup Garden Club Red Plum Preserves
- ½ cup Griffin’s Wasabi Mustard
- ¼ cup Garden Club Apple Cider Vinegar
- ¼ cup cane syrup
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. cracked pepper
Instructions
To season tenderloins with dry and liquid seasonings, sprinkle liberally with the dry first, pat into meat, then sprinkle on liquid, rub into meat. Let marinate for 30 minutes. (If preferred, 8 large 1-in thick butterfly boneless pork chops can be substituted.)
In the meantime, sauté in a medium saucepan the garlic and mushrooms in butter for 5 minutes or until soft, but not browned. Add salsa, preserves, mustard, vinegar and syrup. Cook down for 10 minutes on medium heat, to about half the volume, stirring continually. Sauce should be thick and syrupy. Add salt and pepper, more or less to taste.
Place tenderloins in medium roasting pan, cover with foil, roast at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until juice is no longer pink. If preferred, tenderloin can be coked on the grill instead of the oven.
After letting meat rest 5 minutes, cut into 1-in. slices and serve warm, covered with the warm sauce. A good wine match is a Grape Ranch Syrah. Serves 8-10.
