Marmelo-Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Marmelo is the Portuguese word for quince; the term marmalade is derived from this word. Here is a great way to enjoy our Quince-Lemon Marmalade--besides just savoring it on toast. When combined with herbs, garlic, and mustard, it creates a glossy glaze for the meaty pork.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 3 ounces)

Ingredients

• 1/2  cup  Quince-Lemon Marmalade
• 1  tablespoon  Dijon mustard
• 2  teaspoons  chopped fresh rosemary
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 2  (3/4-pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed
• 3/4  teaspoon  salt
• 3/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°.

Combine first 4 ingredients, stirring until well blended. Sprinkle pork evenly with salt and pepper. Place pork on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush half of marmalade mixture evenly over pork. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes. Brush remaining marmalade mixture over pork; bake an additional 5 minutes or until a thermometer registers 155° or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
