Ingredients for Apple Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin

  • Pork Tenderloin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • Maple Syrup
  • Apple Jelly
  • 1 clove minced garlic

How to Make Apple Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin

  1. Season pork tenderloins generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup apple jelly, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until thickened to about 1/2 cup (approximately 8-10 minutes).
  4. Brush half of the glaze over the pork tenderloins.
  5. Grill the tenderloins over medium heat for 10 minutes, covered, turning once halfway through.
  6. Brush the remaining glaze over the tenderloins.
  7. Continue grilling for another 5-10 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F (71°C). Turn once more during this time.
  8. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before carving.
  9. Carve the tenderloins crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
