Equipment

  • 1 Grill

Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloins about 1 1/4 pound each
  • 1/2 cup cherry preserves
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt divided

Instructions

  • Heat grill to high and scrape clean. Set one side to medium high heat and one side to low heat.
  • Sprinkle tenderloins with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Blend the cherry preserves in a blender until smooth. I used an immersion blender.
  • Whisk together the cherry preserves, bourbon, melted butter, brown sugar and remaining teaspoon of salt.
  • Pour half the glaze over the pork tenderloins and rub to coat evenly.
  • Grill the tenderloins on the hot side of the grill for about 5 minutes, flipping once so both sides are browned.
  • Transfer tenderloins to the low heat side of the grill and close lid. Continue grilling until internal temperature of thickest part of tenderloins registers between 140 and 145 degrees.
  • Transfer cooked tenderloins to a large sheet of foil. Pour the remaining cherry bourbon glaze over the tenderloins. Seal the foil and allow the tenderloins to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Unseal the foil. Slice the pork and serve.
