I cooked this blackberry pork tenderloin for a date, and he told me it was the best meal anyone besides his momma had ever cooked for him! That's a terrific compliment, being from southern Louisiana.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin

  • 1 tablespoon dried rubbed sage

  • 1 tablespoon crushed dried rosemary, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 (16 ounce) jar seedless blackberry jam

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 2 tablespoons dry red wine

  • 1 cup fresh blackberries

  • ½ cup dry red wine

  • 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

  1. Season pork tenderloin on all sides with sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper; place into a slow cooker. Spoon blackberry jam, 1/4 cup honey, and 2 tablespoons red wine over top. Cover and cook on Low until very tender and slightly pink in the center, 4 to 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

  2. About 15 minutes before serving, bring blackberries, 1/2 cup red wine, and 2 tablespoons honey to a boil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until sauce thickens slightly and some berries burst, about 15 minutes.

  3. To serve, slice tenderloin and spoon blackberry sauce over top.

Tips

Use a dry red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or a blend.
