Pepper Jelly Pork

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 pork tenderloin
• 0.25 cups hot pepper jelly
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

2. 2

   Whisk chili powder, black pepper, ground cumin, and salt together in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture onto all sides of pork tenderloin. Place tenderloin in a shallow roasting pan.

3. 3

   Roast tenderloin in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).

4. 4

   Stir pepper jelly and balsamic vinegar together in a saucepan over low heat until jelly is completely melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Brush pepper jelly mixture over pork tenderloin and continue to bake tenderloin until jelly coating is hot, about 5 minutes more. Let pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
