Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
How to Make Maple-Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Berries
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
- Place the pork tenderloin in a baking dish and brush half of the glaze over the pork, ensuring it’s well coated.
- Bake the pork in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Brush with the remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
- While the pork is baking, prepare the berry sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh raspberries, blueberries, and pumpkin puree. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and released their juices.
- Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced pork drizzled with the berry sauce and garnished with additional fresh berries.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the pork is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature accurately.
- Let the pork rest after cooking to retain its juices.
Easy Variations
- Substitute the pork tenderloin with chicken breast for a lighter option.
- Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the berry sauce for a tangy twist.
- Experiment with different berries like strawberries or blackberries based on availability.
What to Serve With It
- A side of roasted sweet potatoes complements the dish beautifully.
- Serve with a fresh green salad to add crunch and color.
- Pair with quinoa or wild rice for a hearty side.
Storage and Reheating
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, place the pork in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes. Reheat the berry sauce gently on the stovetop.
