2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup apple cider
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Season the pork tenderloins with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-proof pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together apple cider, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, and thyme.
Pour the mixture over the pork in the pan.
