Blue Ribbon Recipe

We are in love with this delicious grilled pork tenderloin. Since it's wrapped in bacon, its smoky flavor infuses into the juicy and tender pork. Fresh blueberries and cherry tomatoes add pops of sweet flavor and balance out the tangy vinegar in the blueberry sauce. This a great summer grilling recipe if you're looking for a fancier meal.

    BLUEBERRY SAUCE: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, and pepper. Saute until onions are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the sugar and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Wine, vinegar, blueberries, and tomato halves added to onions.
    3
    Stir in the wine and vinegar. Bring to a boil. Boil gently for 3 minutes. Stir in the blueberries and tomato halves. Cook just until heated through.
