Pepper Jelly Pork pairs tender roasted pork loin with a glossy pepper jelly and balsamic finish that balances gentle heat, tang, and sweetness. The spice rub builds a warm, savory crust, while the quick glaze adds a sticky sheen and vibrant flavor. Ideal for a weeknight dinner or casual gathering when you want bold taste with minimal fuss.

Pepper Jelly Pork
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Whisk the chili powder, black pepper, ground cumin, and salt in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture over all sides of the pork tenderloin. Set the tenderloin in a shallow roasting pan.

  3. 3

    Roast the tenderloin in the preheated oven until it is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Stir the pepper jelly and balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until the jelly is fully melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Brush the pepper jelly mixture over the pork tenderloin and continue baking the tenderloin until the jelly coating is hot, about 5 minutes more. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
