Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
1 pork tenderloin
¼ cup hot pepper jelly
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Whisk chili powder, black pepper, ground cumin, and salt together in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture onto all sides of pork tenderloin. Place tenderloin in a shallow roasting pan.
Roast tenderloin in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).
Stir pepper jelly and balsamic vinegar together in a saucepan over low heat until jelly is completely melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Brush pepper jelly mixture over pork tenderloin and continue to bake tenderloin until jelly coating is hot, about 5 minutes more. Let pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
