Grilled Pork Tenderloin w/Blueberry Gastrique

[BrianGSDTexoma]

Blueberries been dirt cheap. Made some jam last week and got some more berries this week. Trying to figure out what to do with them came across Gonna Smoke Grilled Pork Tenderloin w/Blueberry Gastrique post and figured give it a try. Still have few packages to use for something?

First made the Gastrique. After it cooled got pretty thick but still tasty.



Pork seasoned with Jeff's original rub.



Set probe down on table while getting the grill ready. I think I beat Robert's 118. I thought about using the Ninja in the house but wanted to stay true to Charles post.



Some of my Blueberry wine seemed fitting



Pork indirect than finished over coals to 125. I wasn't getting the color Charles got cooking indirect or I would of left it. This the first time using this rub and might of had to do with that. Grill was running 400.



Kind of piled on the sauce. Will remember next time not to reduce so much if making ahead of time. Used some fresh pesto in cucumber and Cavender's on tomatoes. I got a 4 pk of that B&V broth and sauce off BBQ store on ebay for $25 to make Keith's onions. Man those things good. I forgot I had some fresh beets to make but guess those will go with another meal.



Thanks for looking and thanks to Charles for the inspiration. I usual do pork tenderloin jerk style.

Super nice meal Brian and a great write-up. As you noted, perhaps a bit heavy on the blueberries, but outside of that, I'd say it is perfection.

I think I beat Robert's 118.

You did up until yesterday. We hit 121 on the pool deck at 4:00 yesterday afternoon on yet another record setting day of high temps. Being 200 miles south of you can make a bit of a difference I guess. This heat has been insane and I've about had enough of it I also need to learn to pace myself when it's this hot or just stay in the AC. I managed to get heat stroke again yesterday working outside for the second time in three weeks.Man, talk about feeling miserable!!

Thanks for looking and thanks to Charles for the inspiration.

So do we need to add Charles ( Gonna Smoke ) to the list of enablers? Personally I think it's about time he joined our ranks

It's a process Charles and it takes some time. You gotta start somewhere though. Remember, the people who built Rome were not enabled in a day Hang in there my friend, you can do it.
