Balsamic Honey Glaze

Feeling a little run down?

Swallow a teaspoon of honey.

Ancient Olympians ate honey and figs to boost their energy and modern science says it works.

In one study of ergogenic foods (foods that enhance performance), weight trainers who ate honey not only maintained their blood sugar, but their muscles also recuperated faster.

An added bonus: honey has been used for centuries to treat cuts and burns and may also keep infection away.

Applied topically, its sugars draw moisture from wounds, while enzymes, antioxidants and flavonoids act as antibacterials.

(Health Canada warns though that children under 12 months should not consume honey because of the risk of botulism.)

Pork-Tenderloin with Balsamic Honey Glaze

Succulent pork-tenderloin is perfect for the grill.

It doesnt need alot of time for cooking and is great for marinades and spices.

This sweet, yet sour marinade glazes the meat and turns into a delicious crust.

Really good!

Ingredients;

2 Tbsp. (25 mL) liquid organic honey.

2 Tbsp. (25 mL) grainy mustard.

2 Tbsp. (25 mL) balsamic vinegar.

1 Tbsp. (15 mL) extra virgin olive or macadamia oil.

1 Clove garlic, minced.

1/4 tsp. (1 mL) each salt and pepper.

2 pork tenderloins.

Preparation;

In large bowl, combine honey, mustard, vinegar, oil, garlic, salt and pepper, then pork, turning to coat.

(Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Reserving marinade, place pork on greased grill over medium-high heat, brushing with marinade.

Close the lid and cook, turning occasionally, for about 18 minutes or until just a hint of pink remains inside.

Don't insert to test too often as you'll lose some of the juices.

Then transfer to cutting board, tent with foil and let stand for maybe 5 minutes.

Cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices.
