Found a bottle of Melindas Ghost pepper/strawberry jelly and decided to do a glazed tenderloin.Brined the tenderloins overnight in a basic salt/raw sugar and cure#1mixture.Glazed it the next morning and spiced it with Kinder's no salt garlic and herb rub.Went into the MES at 235℉ for 2.5 hrs until 140 and then foil wrapped while sides were done and finally a quick sear on the grill.Used pecan shell dust in the tube for smoke.

Sides were roasted rosemary (still had some in the garden!) potatoes with smoked cinnamon apples,wild rice mixture and steamed green beans.

I always make sure I have enough extra to do sliders .
I have some decent bread in the house.Gonna spread a little of that jelly on it to really spice it up,it's pretty potent out of the jar for jelly anyways.

Jellies, jams, preserves, chutneys all can be made into fantastic glazes. The ones I find especially good are those that get a bit of heat and flavor from various peppers as yours does (jalapeños, habineros, ghost, chipotle etc) Hard to beat sweet-n-heat.....especially with pork and poultry.
