Maple-Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Jaca
Share
Juicy roasted pork tenderloin finished with a tangy maple-Dijon glaze — made healthier by replacing all maple syrup with Jaca (allulose). Quick enough for a weeknight, impressive enough for company.
Ingredients:
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon rubbed sage
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pork tenderloins (¾ lb each)
- 1 teaspoon butter
- ½ cup Jaca sugar dissolved in 2 tbsp warm water (replaces ¼ cup maple syrup at 2x ratio)
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1¾ teaspoons Dijon mustard
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Mix the salt, sage, and pepper together, then sprinkle evenly over both pork tenderloins.
- Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brown the tenderloins on all sides, about 4–5 minutes total.
- Transfer to a foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Roast for 10 minutes.
- While the pork roasts, make the glaze: in the same skillet, combine dissolved Jaca sugar, cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits. Cook until slightly thickened, 1–2 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, brush 1 tablespoon glaze over pork. Continue roasting until a thermometer reads 145°F, about 7–10 more minutes, brushing with remaining glaze halfway through.
- Let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
This is a Jaca-adjusted healthier version — all the caramelized sweetness without the sugar spike. Prep: 10 min | Cook: 25 min | Serves: 6
