Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Grill pork over medium-high heat (350 to 400 degrees) for 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 160 degrees, turning pork once (I had to turn it more than once).  Remove from grill, and let stand 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat while pork stands.  Add shallots, and saute 5 minutes or until tender.  Add wine; cook 13 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.  Reduce heat to low; whisk in fruit spread and remaining 2 Tbsp. butter.  Cook 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.<\/p>\n<p>Cut pork into 1\/4 inch thick slices.  Drizzle blackberry sauce over pork.  Garnish, if desired.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_3853.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_3853.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I served this pork with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/2006\/11\/roasted_brussel_sprouts_with_p.html\">these brussels sprouts<\/a> (Boy&#8217;s special request) and some mashed Yukon Gold potatoes (put some fresh garlic in the water while they boil, then add some butter and half and half when you mash them &#8211; Mmmmm).
