Sweet And Spicy Pork Tenderloin

Recipe Ingredients

2		Pork tenderloins - (12 oz ea) - whole
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Sugar
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1 teaspoon	5ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Coriander
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Ground cloves

Recipe Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, salt and spices. Place the tenderloins into a glass baking dish and rub the spice mixture into the meat. Cover and refrigerate for six hours.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Tuck the tail of each tenderloin under itself to form a small roast (secure with toothpicks or kitchen string at 2-inch intervals). Brush each loin with olive oil.

Roast for 20 minutes. Brush each loin with maple syrup at least two more times while roasting another 25 minutes. Remove from the oven. Cut across the grain and spoon any juices over the meat.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
