    Boy, have I got a great, easy yet unforgettable recipe to share with you today!  Well, I absolutely cannot take credit for this.  I purchased some gorgeous pork tenderloin (yes, it captured my heart the moment I laid eyes on it), but had no idea what to do with it.  Sure, I could've cooked it in my foolproof crockpot and drenched it in some kind of sauce or marinated and grilled it...but I really wanted to try something new.  I knew I didn't want to mess with it too much, as it was perfect just the way it was.  So after searching through my favorite food sites like a mad woman, I came upon The Pioneer Woman's recipe.  Minimal ingredients, easy directions..I was sold!

    Author: Min | MJ and Hungryman

    Ingredients

    • 2 whole pork tenderloins
    • 2 Tbs garlic
    • 8 Tbs Herbs de Provence
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 cup preserves of choice
    • 1 cup water
    • 1 Tbs vinegar
    • * I used raspberry preserves bc I thought the added tanginess would be lovely in this dish.

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 425 F.
    • Clean tenderloin. Make sure to remove all the silverskin. Season with salt and pepper. Rub on garlic and Herbs de Provence.
    • Bake in a greased baking sheet pan for approx 12-15 min. Let sit for about 10 min before slicing.
    • In a small sauce pan, simmer preserves, water, and vinegar together until they thicken.
    • Pour sauce over pork. Serve with favorite sides.

    I enjoyed the pork with some fingerling potatoes and roasted broccoli.  And now that I think of it (I actually made this recipe before Thanksgiving), I could've totally used cranberries instead of the raspberry preserves!  Perfect for this time of the year!  I also hadn't purchased my roaster (why did it take me so long to get it?!..it's glorious, I tell ya) when I made this, so I'm totally going to use it to make this recipe again!  I'll let you know if it makes a big difference, since I just baked it in a cookie sheet this first time around.

    Hope you give this recipe a try.  I bow before you, Ree Drummond!

      This is an incredibly beautiful meal, Min! Wow! I keep scrolling back up to look at the first picture; it's restaurant-worthy! 😀 I actually can't remember the last time I had pork tenderloin...My mom used to make it about once/month when I was growing up, and it was one of my favorite dinners (usually served with roasted potatoes, just as you did!). I rarely buy large cuts of meat now, mainly because 99% of the time, I only cook for myself. However, I'm beginning to think maybe I need to start roasting in large quantities and freezing. I wonder how pork loin would hold up?

      I hope you're handling all the end-of-semester craziness okay...We are SO close! Thinking about the freedom and joy Christmas break will bring provides enough energy to persevere. We've got this! Sending hugs! <3 xoxo

      This looks delicious. I don't often cook pork, but when I do, I buy the pork tenderloin and usually use a slow cooker. I'll have to shake things up and give this a try! Thanks!
