I did a little searching on etsy (what’s new?) and put
together a quick cache of some lovely apple art. Great for hanging in the
kitchen if you like to display seasonal art or food inspired art.
Now, my real gift to you though is my Roasted Pork Tenderloin
with Apple Cider Glaze recipe. Now I’ve been making this for years, so my
apologize to the originator of this recipe (be it friend, family, or cook
book). I’ve long since lost that detail. But what I do have is a delicious entrée
that will certainly stay in my cool-weather cooking rotation.
ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN with APPLE CIDER GLAZE
Ingredients:
2 1lb pork tenderloins, trimmed
6 shallots, quartered
1/2 c golden raisins
3 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (5-6 sprigs)
Pinch ground cloves
3/4 c apple cider
1/3 c dry white wine
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 mcintosh apples, peeled &
chopped
Directions:
1. Rinse pork, pat dry, and place in a large
zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag or shallow dish
2. Stir together shallots and next 5 ingredients in
a medium bowl. Pour over pork, cover or seal, and chill at least 4 hours,
turning occasionally.
3.
Preheat oven to 375*. Remove pork from marinade,
reserving marinade. Sprinkle pork evenly with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Cook
in hot oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat 2-3 minutes on each
side or until browned. Remove pork, and add butter to skillet, stirring until
melted. Add apples, and sauté 2 minutes. Stir in reserved marinade. Bring to a
boil, and boil 2 minutes, stirring often. Return pork to skillet.
4. Bake for 20-30 minutes, basting occasionally.
Slice pork, and serve immediately with glaze.
You’re
welcome.
