Preparation

Step 1

Place a large cast-iron skillet in the oven; preheat to 425 degrees.

Combine the blackberries, molasses, ketchup, mustard, red wine vinegar, bourbon,honey, orange juice, pinch of salt and the hot sauce in a blender or food processor; puree until smooth. Strain into a small saucepan, pushing the mixture through. Discard the seeds.

Season the pork with the coconut oil, pepper, salt and garlic.

Cook the mixture over low heat for 20 minutes, covered. Stir occasionally till it thickens.

Meanwhile, transfer the hot skillet to the stove top; place over medium-high heat. Add the pork tenderloin, sear for 2 minutes all around, then return the skillet to the oven. Roast for about 8 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 145 degrees.
