BOURBON PORK TENDERLOIN

Category: Roasts/Tenderloins - Pork

1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tbsp bourbon (see Note)
1 tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 to 2 lbs pork tenderloin (2 tenderloins)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350. Line a 7 inch x 11 inch baking dish with aluminum foil then coat with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners sugar, bourbon, water, and vanilla; mix well and set aside. Season the pork tenderloins with the salt and pepper; place in the baking dish. Spoon half of the sugar mixture over the pork and roast for 45 minutes.

Remove from the oven and spoon the remaining sugar mixture over the tenderloins. Roast for 5 to 10 minutes, or until no pink remains. Cut into 1/4- inch-thick slices and serve with the sauce from the pan. Serves 4-5

NOTE: If you prefer, you can substitute apple cider for the bourbon. You know, lining the pan with aluminum foil makes cleanup really easy.
