Come to think of it, most of our favorite pork tenderloin recipes feature some sort of balsamic glaze. I guess you could say it’s a tried and true combination at our house.

The sauce isn’t just great on pork tenderloin either. It’s also delicious served with ham, and as a glaze for grilled or roasted chicken. And if it gets mixed up with your potatoes or vegetables, don’t worry. That’s delicious too.
