Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic cloves minced
1.5 tablespoons dried thyme
3.5 pounds pork tenderloin
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Add blueberries to a blender and process until pureed. Add maple syrup, olive oil, balsamic and blend until combined.
Sprinkle pork tenderloin evenly on all sides with salt and pepper
Pour the marinade into gallon size plastic freezer bag, add in garlic and thyme. Place the pork tenderloin in bag. Remove as much air from the bag and zip the top. Gently roll the bag on the kitchen counter to make sure that the marinade coats every inch of the tenderloin.
Place the bag in the fridge and let it marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
When ready to cook, remove the bag of tenderloin from the fridge and preheat the grill to high heat.
Remove the tenderloin from the bag and place on grill. Discard bag with marinade.
Cook tenderloin for about 6 minutes, flip and cook an additional 6 minutes.
Lower heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes, flip and cook an additional 15 minutes, or until tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 140° F.
Remove and let rest for about 10 minutes, remove twine if used and serve.
