Notes

Nutrition facts are for a 3 lb. pork tenderloin. If you choose a different weight or different cut of meat, nutritional information can change.
Use your thermometer in the thickest part of the meat to make sure it has reached the right temperature.
I used frozen blueberries in this recipe. It's fine to use fresh blueberries, you'll just need an additional 1 T water.
