Steps:
- Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches below the heat source and preheat the broiler to high.
- Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork. Put the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate with 2 tablespoons water and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave until tender, about 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
- Carefully uncover, drain the potatoes and transfer them to a baking sheet. Top with 2 tablespoons olive oil and half the chopped thyme. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Smash each potato by pressing down with a metal spatula until it flattens. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Sear until golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on the second side, about 2 minutes more (the pork chops will not be cooked through at this point). Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the shallot, dried cherries and the remaining thyme and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup water and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cherry jam and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
- Transfer 2 tablespoons of the glaze and the remaining 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to make a vinaigrette. Set aside.
- Broil the potatoes until warm and golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Stir 2 tablespoons water into the remaining glaze in the skillet and bring to a simmer over high heat. Add the pork chops and any juices that have accumulated on the plate and turn over several times to coat with glaze. Return the pan to the oven and broil until the glaze is bubbly and thick and the pork chops are cooked through, about 2 minutes. (The pork chops should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F when measured with an instant-read thermometer.)
- Meanwhile, add the salad greens to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat. Transfer the pork chops to a serving dish and pour the remaining glaze on top. Serve with the smashed potatoes and salad.
PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CHERRY SAUCE
This delicious pork tenderloin recipe with cherry sauce is courtesy of my sister who made it 20 years ago, and which I have reminisced about over the years. She recently found the recipe so I'm saving it here for posterity.

Steps:
- Place pork in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour in olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced onion, ginger, sugar, and flavor enhancer for marinade. Toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Remove pork from the refrigerator and place in a shallow baking pan. Cover with some of the marinade and discard the rest.
- Cook in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
- While pork is resting, prepare sauce: Combine cherry preserves, wine, corn syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil; remove from heat. Keep warm.
- Drizzle sauce over pork, top with almonds, and serve.

Steps:
- Pat the chops dry, and rub them all over with a mixture of the rosemary, salt, pepper and garlic. Cover, and marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator. Bring the chops back to room temperature before grilling.
- Heat one side of a charcoal or gas grill, and put the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Cook the chops over the hottest part of the fi re until well seared on both sides, about 3 or 4 minutes per side. Move them to the cool part of the grill, cover and cook until done, anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the fi re and the thickness of the chops. The pork is done when it's just fi rm to the touch, its juices run just slightly pink and the meat is rosy in the center, or when an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees in the thickest part of the chop (the temperature will continue to rise as the chops rest). Transfer them to a platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest while you make the sauce.
- Put 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the shallots, and cook until soft, 2 or 3 minutes. Add the cherries, wine and whatever juices have accumulated around the pork chops; cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces into a thin syrup, 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, a little at a time, until it's incorporated into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chops, and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Season pork tenderloins with salt and pepper to taste. Place in shallow roasting pan.
- Roast tenderloins 20 to 25 minutes or until done (internal temp 155°F).
- Meanwhile, to make glaze, drain cherries, reserving liquid.
- Add enough cherry-flavored juice to cherry liquid to make one cup.
- Combine cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cherry liquid in small bowl.
- Mix cornstarch mixture into remaining liquid.
- Mix cherries, brown sugar, cranberries and cherry liquid in small saucepan.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens; stir in mustard.
- Pour glaze evenly over tenderloins during last 10 minutes of roasting time.
- Slice tenderloins into medallions to serve.
Tips:
- Choose a thick pork loin roast for best results. A thin roast will cook too quickly and become dry.
- Score the pork loin before roasting to help it cook evenly and absorb the glaze.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork loin is cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Make the cherry glaze ahead of time and let it cool completely before using. This will help the glaze thicken and adhere to the pork loin better.
- Brush the pork loin with the cherry glaze generously during the last 15 minutes of cooking. This will give the pork loin a beautiful glaze and help it caramelize.
- Let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork loin.
Conclusion:
Cherry glazed pork loin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The pork loin is juicy and tender, while the cherry glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
