- 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 pork tenderloin (1 lb/0.5 kg)

- To prepare glaze, combine all ingredients except pork in a small non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, whisking frequently, for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Tip: As an alternative to using the oven, pork may be grilled. Reserve 1/4 cup of glaze to serve with pork; remaining glaze will be used to brush pork during grilling. Sear pork on all sides over medium-high heat on natural gas barbecue. Brush pork with half of remaining glaze, rotating to brush all sides. Grill over low heat until a meat thermometer registers 160ºF, brushing pork with rest of remaining glaze during last 10 - 15 minutes of grilling. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Reheat the 1/4 cup of reserved glaze to drizzle over sliced pork.
