Steps:
- Sprinkle heavily with garlic salt and let the salted pork sit at room temperature for 40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425°F
- Sauce: In a heavy skillet add 3 TBL olive oil and heat until hot then add garlic, shallots and red pepper and sauté until peppers, garlic, and shallots are soft (about 10-12 minutes).
- Add 1/2 cup of brandy (be careful not to flame).
- Add the stock, rosemary, and thyme and reduce the liquid by approximately 1/3.
- Take off heat and remove rosemary and thyme. Add jam and heat until jam liquefies.
- Pork: In a large skillet, heat 3 TBL oil to very hot but not smoking. Add the pork and sear for about 2 minutes per side, turning the pork only once so it gets a good sear.
- Remove the pork and place on a roasting pan in the preheated 425 F oven, for approximately 10-15 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 155 ° F (meat will still be a tiny bit pink, that's ok), do not overcook. When it comes out of the oven cover meat with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice on the diagonal into 1 inch slices and save the juices. Place sautéed peppers on serving platter then place sliced tenderloin on top of peppers.
- Pour about ½ cup brandy/jam mixture over the pork and sprinkle with 3/4 cup Gorgonzola. Serve with remaining brandy/jam sauce and the Gorgonzola in separate serving/gravy dish.

SPICY PEPPER JELLY MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN
From Sara Foster's Southern Kitchen. The recipe in the book calls for grilling. Heat one side of your grill to medium, and place pork on the hot side, grilling for 12 to 15 minutes, turning 3 times and basting with reserved marinade. Move pork to the cool side and close the grill cover. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 145 F. Let rest before slicing.

Steps:

- Preheat the oven to 425.
- Remove the pork from the bag/bowl, and pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Liberally salt and pepper the tenderloin.
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add the pork and sear on all sides, about 8 minutes. Place the entire pan in the oven and cook until internal temperature reads 145, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring the marinade to a boil on the stove. Boil for about 5 minutes, until thickened.
- Brush the cooked tenderloin with the boiled marinade. Tent the pork with foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

SPICY PEPPER JELLY-MARINATED GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN
Steps:
- Rinse the pork, pat dry, remove the silver skin (see Know-how, page 81), and trim any excess fat. Place in a shallow container or large resealable bag.
- Whisk together the pepper jelly, wine, orange zest and juice, vinegar, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork and turn to coat evenly. (Or, if using a bag, pour the marinade into the bag, seal, and shake to coat the pork.) Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Turn the pork several times to distribute the marinade evenly.
- When ready to cook the pork, prepare a hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill and let the coals burn to gray ash with a slight red glow. Keep the coals on one side of the grill to create areas of direct and indirect heat (see Know-how, page 151); if using a gas grill, heat just one side on medium.
- Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and season with salt and pepper. Place the pork on the hot grill directly over the coals and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning three times and basting often with the reserved marinade. Move the pork away from the coals, close the grill or cover the pork with foil, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, until an internal thermometer inserted in the tenderloin reads 145°F for medium (this is what I prefer) or 160°F for medium-well.
- Remove the pork from the grill and transfer to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve warm with additional pepper jelly on the side.
Tips:
- To ensure the juiciness of the tenderloin, it's crucial to cook it to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.
- Searing the tenderloin adds a delightful layer of flavor and locks in its natural juices. Make sure to sear it over high heat to achieve a golden-brown crust.
- Baste the tenderloin with the pepper jelly mixture throughout the cooking process. This not only enhances the taste but also creates a beautifully glazed exterior.
- Let the tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute evenly, resulting in tender and flavorful meat.
- For a delicious side dish, roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes pair perfectly with the pork tenderloin.
Conclusion:
The combination of tender pork, vibrant flavors of the pepper jelly glaze, and simple yet elegant presentation makes this recipe a delightful choice for any occasion. Elevate your culinary skills and impress your family and friends with this mouthwatering pork tenderloin with pepper jelly. Don't forget to experiment with different pepper jelly flavors to add a unique twist to this classic dish. Happy cooking!
