Ingredients
- 2 cups blueberry preserves
- 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1/2 orange, zested and juiced
- 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard, divided
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pork tenderloin (roughly 1 1/2 pounds)
Directions
In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine the blueberry preserves, chipotle powder, orange zest and juice and 2 tablespoons of the mustard. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat and to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until berries begin to burst and at a thick sauce consistency, about 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.
Preheat the broiler.
Rub the tenderloin with the remaining 1 tablespoon of the mustard and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Put the pork on a foil-lined sheet tray on a wire rack and broil approximately 5 to 6 inches from the heat source. Turn the meat about every 3 to 5 minutes, cooking until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 degrees F, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside on a cutting board and allow to rest about 5 minutes, tented with foil.
Slice the pork and transfer it to a serving platter. Serve with the blueberry sauce.

I've always loved pork loin and this quickly became my family's favorite! The flavors are tremendous and it is so easy and it comes together quickly so I don't mind making it after a long day at the office. As someone else mentioned, I've also used blackberry sauce and it was delicious too (and I don't think it was quite as sweet. I buy a pack of two pork loins and make both.... the 2nd is great sliced cold to make sandwiches. Thanks Claire! Love your show and love, love, love this recipe!!!!!
