MARINATED GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN
Steps:
- Trim the tenderloins of all fat and silverskin. Place them in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold them without crowding.
- Combine the soy sauce, sherry, honey, vinegar, oil, and orange juice in a medium bowl, whisking until well blended. Stir in the rosemary, shallots, and ginger. Pour the mixture over the tenderloins. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan.
- Remove the pork from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place the tenderloins on the grill and cook, turning frequently, for about 18 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 155 degrees F. Transfer to a platter and allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Slice the pork into 1/4 inch-thick slices, spoon the hot marinade over the pork. Serve with a tossed salad.

BLACKBERRY JALAPENO GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN
Steps:
- In a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, dissolve 1/4 cup of salt in the warm water. Add the vinegar, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, ice cubes and the pork. Brine for exactly 20 minutes. The pork becomes mealy if its brined longer.
- Meanwhile, prepare the Blackberry Jalapeno Glaze.
- Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry. Rub the pork with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
- Add the pork tenderloin and cook for 6 minutes on each side, browning evenly and the internal temperature registers 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. At this point, evenly spread 1/4 cup of the glaze over the pork. Cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pork from heat to a cutting board and keep it warm tented with aluminum foil.
- Slice the pork, arrange the slices on a serving platter and serve with remaining warm glaze.
- Add the butter to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the jalapenos and garlic and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the blackberry preserves and 1 cup wine and combine well. Simmer until reduced by half. Add the cornstarch to the remaining 1/4 cup red wine in a small bowl and mix well. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pan and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more. Keep the glaze warm until serving.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit (68 degrees Celsius) for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) for well-done.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the pork tenderloin in a grill pan over medium heat. Just be sure to preheat the pan before adding the pork.
- If you don't have blackberry jam, you can use another type of fruit jam or jelly, such as raspberry or apricot.
- To make the blackberry marinade ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl or jar and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Then, when you're ready to cook the pork, just remove the marinade from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
- If you want to add a smoky flavor to the pork, you can wrap it in foil before grilling. Just be sure to poke a few holes in the foil so that the smoke can circulate.
Conclusion:
Grilled pork tenderloin with blackberry marinade is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. The pork is juicy and tender, and the blackberry marinade gives it a sweet and tangy flavor. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.
