MAPLE DIJON PORK TENDERLOIN 
2 pork tenderloins 12 oz each, seasoned with a little salt, pepper and dried thyme
1 tbsp. butter
1/4 cup PURE maple syrup, plus 1 tbsp.
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
4 tbsp Dijon mustard, divided
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large oven proof skillet, heat the butter and cook over medium high heat. Add the pork to the pan and cook, turning until golden brown on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside pork.

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup maple syrup, apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons mustard. Add mixture to the skillet and cook over medium to high heat, stirring until the sauce is reduced by half.

Return the pork to the pan and turn to coat with the sauce. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast, basting every 10 minutes with the sauce for 15 to 20 minutes or until the meat reaches 150°F.

Let the pork stand 10 minutes before slicing in a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 tablespoon mustard. Serve sliced tenderloins with the maple Dijon mayonnaise.

I made this recipe exactly as described except I used pork tenderloin tips, which were basically just pieces of pork tenderloin. I loved it! Couldn't get enough of the sauce, great flavor! Thanks for the recipe.

I de-glazed the pan with the mayo sauce, soaking up the sweet bits and it was amazing! This is a very yummy recipe.

This will go into the recipe box as one I serve often! The only change I made was to use rosemary as I didn't have thyme. The mayo was so good I used the leftovers on our hamburgers the next night. Used very fresh maple syrup.....just excellent

The glaze is great, and the pork ends up cooking perfectly pink on the inside with the browning first. The thyme and maple come together really nicely. I wasn't wild about the mayonnaise/mustard/maple sauce, so next time I will probably just serve with a simple dijon mustard. Overall, a great and very easy recipe! (Even better, I had all the ingredients on hand!)

This was delicious! I, too, used pork tenderloin tips. I was definitely wary as it was cooking because I use unfiltered, raw apple cider vinegar and the smell is rather pungent. No reason to fear though...the smell went away once it was in the over and the flavor was delicious. My husband and kids ate every last bit of this and like the maple-dijon sauce too, even those who claim to hate mayonnaise. This one will be in our regular rotation.

I have made this a few times, and it's a hit.
I make it in a dutch oven, and sometimes use apple cider and a dash of apple cider vinegar. Then leave in oven till the liquid is almost completely reduced. It's delicious!

It was very good and the pork roast was tender. Maybe a little less vinegar next time but very good.

I've made this recipe once before and it was fantastic! My husband loved the dipping sauce once he tried it. I want to make it again tonight but glanced through my pantry and I don't have any apple cider vinegar. What would be a good substitute for it? I have white, balsamic, rice wine, red wine vinegars. I thought about balsamic. Any thoughts?

 James (Tennessee) says:
Made this tonight, but with some substitutions, since I didn't have enough of everything to make it. Mixed the apple cider vinegar with some cooking wine, and had to use some jalapeno mustard mixed with the brown mustard. Served with vegetable mix and fried potatoes, and it all went well together. Good recipe.
