Cherry Rosemary Pork Tenderloin Recipe: Pork Comes to Life in Your Instant Pot® Pork Dinner Holidays

Pork tenderloin is easy to overcook and dry out, but the steaming nature of the Instant Pot® creates a nice, tender loin of pork. To make this pork dish look as amazing as it tastes, top with additional cherry preserves and garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary (just be sure to avoid eating the rosemary!).

This easy pork tenderloin recipe ensures that you'll have a company-worthy dinner that won’t stress you out while preparing. Do you have some fresh cherries you need to use? Instead of the cherry preserves, try this Quick Homemade Cherry Coulis. Place about 1/4 cup pitted and quartered cherries, 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup pure maple syrup in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes until reduced by half, then “smoosh” the cherries against the side of the pan. Let cool and use this in place of the preserves.
