Ingredients

For the Pork

  • 1 lb pork tenderloins

For the Glaze

  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the Pork: Generously season the pork tenderloins on all sides with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  2. Sear the Pork: Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork until browned on all sides, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Glaze: In a saucepan, combine apple juice, pomegranate juice, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, ground ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well to mix all ingredients.
  4. Simmer the Glaze: Place the saucepan over medium heat and simmer the mixture until it reduces by half and achieves a glossy consistency, about 15 minutes.
  5. Glaze and Roast: Brush the seared pork with the prepared glaze, then transfer the skillet to an oven heated to 400°F. Roast the pork for 15 to 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  6. Rest and Serve: Let the pork rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices before slicing. Serve drizzled with the remaining glaze on top.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to the perfect internal temperature for safety and juiciness.
  • For a deeper flavor, marinate the pork in some glaze mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, continue simmering the sauce until it reaches desired thickness.
  • Substitute pork tenderloin with pork chops if preferred, adjusting cooking times accordingly.
  • Resting the pork after roasting helps redistribute juices for the most tender result.
