Description

I developed this glaze to adorn some beautiful all-natural pork tenderloins that I grilled for dinner. Maple and pork are like peanut butter and chocolate, and the ancho just adds a nice raisin-like chile flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Pure Maple Syrup, Grade A Amber
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter, Unsalted
  • ½ cups Orange Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Bourbon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ancho Chile
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Sweet Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Ginger
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Cayenne
  • ⅛ teaspoons Smoked Paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoons Cinnamon

Preparation

Heat the syrup and butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the remaining ingredients.

Bring just to a boil then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes.

Remove from the heat and let cool.

Brush on the carnage of your choice (I recommend pork or turkey) just a minute or two before you take it off the grill.

Enjoy!

I can almost taste this. Lucky for me I have 2 pork tenderloins in the freezer for some great friends coming for a visit. Am definitely going to try this.

kbnolan – You can cut it to 1/3 for a single tenderloin, or make more and refrigerate it for up to about a week, maybe longer.

I couldn’t find ground ancho powder ANYWHERE so I substituted a couple T. chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. I don’t know why I thought that would be a good substitute, maybe because adobo and ancho sound the same?!? Anyway, even with my crazy substitution it worked out and it was WONDERFUL. I marinaded my pork loin in half the sauce overnight and then glazed the loin with the other half while cooking. Also, I ran out of propane on my grill about 3 minutes into cooking it so I baked it in the oven @ 350 for 40 minutes and it was still amazing. So I guess what I’m trying to say is this recipe was so good, I couldn’t mess it up even though I seemed to try! :)
