GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN
Pork tenderloin is a lean cut of meat that can be kept in the freezer to pull out for a quick dinner. This glaze enhances the meat with a subtly sweet, spicy flavor. Time permitting, let the meat marinate in the sauce.

Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed of fat
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325ºF.
2. In small bowl, mix together mustard, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper, honey. Coat tenderloins with mixture.
