Ingredients

2 pork tenderloins (about 2-3 pounds total)

Seasoning salt to taste

2 cups apple juice

Sauce

1/2 cup apple butter (see recipe at right or use store-bought)

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons water

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions

Heat oven to 350. Season pork tenderloins with seasoning salt, and place in a 13×9 baking dish. Pour apple juice over pork, and cover dish with foil. Bake for about 25 minutes (pork will not be done just yet).

For sauce: In a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Spread sauce on pork tenderloins, and return uncovered to oven for at least 10 minutes or until pork reaches 145 degrees and sauce is “set.” You can also carefully broil for a few minutes to caramelize sauce.
