Pork Tenderloin with Bard’s Tea Jelly Irish Whisky Apple Pie Glaze

Here’s a delicious recipe for baked pork tenderloin using Bard’s Irish Whisky Apple Pie Tea Jelly as a glaze:

Ingredients

• 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 pounds)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup Bards Tea Jelly Apple tea jelly
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season Tenderloin: Pat the pork tenderloin dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
3. Sear the Tenderloin: In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
4. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, Bards Tea Jelly Apple tea jelly, apple cider vinegar, thyme, and minced garlic.
5. Apply the Glaze: Brush half of the glaze mixture over the pork tenderloin.
6. Bake: Transfer the skillet with the tenderloin to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
7. Add Final Glaze: Halfway through baking, brush the remaining glaze on the pork for extra flavor and a beautiful caramelized finish.
8. Rest & Serve: Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the meat tender and juicy.

Serving Suggestion

Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with roasted vegetables or a side of mashed potatoes. The sweet and tangy apple tea jelly glaze complements the pork beautifully, creating a mouthwatering dish!
