Spicy pork topped with a savory blueberry sauce? Sign. Us. Up.  

There’s just something incredibly delicious and satisfying when fruit and meat come together in a recipe. They find each other on the plate and meld delightfully well together, easing into each other like old friends who haven’t seen each other in much too long. It can be apples and pork, chicken and pineapple. prosciutto and melon, and the list goes on to include this recipe for blackened pork tenderloin topped with savory blueberry sauce.

Both stunningly elegant on the plate and simple to pull together, this recipe takes the boring right out of weeknight meals! Now round up your ingredients, get your chef's knife and cutting board ready for prepping and your steak knives ready for serving, and let's dig in!
