pork tenderloin with strawberry pepper jelly sauce

I really love pork tenderloin.  I've talked about it over on my pork tenderloin post, but I could say it a million times. I love it! My daddy made this a lot before I left home and it was one of my favorite things back then.  He would pair it with a sweet and sour sauce.  I love pepper jelly sauces, so I thought during strawberry season I would come up with a sauce that went with our pork tenderloin.  I think it's the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. 

*If you can't or don't feel like making a rotisserie pork, you can sear it in the pan and finish it off in the oven. Check the internal temp before cutting.
