This recipe features a juicy pork tenderloin glazed with a tangy and sweet huckleberry sauce enhanced by fresh rosemary and balsamic vinegar. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for both weeknights and special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of silver skin
  • ½ cup huckleberry preserves (about 160 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup huckleberry preserves, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary. Stir occasionally and simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.
  3. Trim the pork tenderloin by removing silver skin and excess fat. Pat dry with paper towels.
  4. Season the pork generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper all over.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, sear the pork tenderloin for about 2 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
  6. Brush about half of the huckleberry glaze over the seared pork tenderloin.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Halfway through roasting (about 8 to 10 minutes in), brush the tenderloin with the remaining glaze.
  9. Remove the pork from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  10. Slice the pork into ½-inch thick medallions, spoon any pan juices over the top, and garnish with extra fresh rosemary if desired.

Notes

If the glaze thickens too much while simmering, add a splash of water or balsamic vinegar to loosen it. Don’t skip the resting step to keep the pork juicy. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure perfect doneness at 145°F (63°C). Fresh rosemary is preferred over dried for best flavor. Applying the glaze twice during cooking builds a sticky, flavorful crust without burning sugars.
