Cocoa and Chili Spiced Pork with Cherry Sauce

Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray a shallow baking dish (one that’s big enough for the pork loin) and set aside.

Rub tenderloin with olive oil. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cocoa, paprika, chili powder, salt and espresso powder. Rub spice mixture into pork. Put it into the prepared dish. Bake in heated oven for 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 145 F. Towards the end of the cook time, start your sauce.

For the sauce, heat oil in a skillet. Add onions and cook until they become soft. Add broth, vinegar, cherries, salt and rosemary. Cook on medium low until sauce is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Pour over pork right before serving.
