Expert Tips

• Traditional southern Jezebel sauce is an interesting combination of jarred pineapple preserves, apple jelly, horseradish, ground mustard and black pepper. Our version uses fresh pineapple and apple, plus Dijon, horseradish and pepper for a fun twist on the classic.
  
• Don’t skip the step of trimming the pork tenderloin. That membrane doesn’t cook away, and it prevents flavors and seasonings from getting to the meat. To remove slippery silverskin, run a knife underneath the shiny membrane, and slice to remove the silverskin while removing as little meat as possible.
