ROAST PORK WITH PORT JUS AND CHIPOTLE-GLAZED APPLES
Steps:
- Mix first 4 ingredients and 1/2 cup brown sugar in small bowl. Rub spice mixture over pork. Place in large glass baking dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Transfer pork to large roasting pan. Reserve juices in glass dish. Roast pork until thermometer inserted into center registers 155°F., about 1 hour 45 minutes, basting with reserved juices from glass dish every 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine Port, shallots and remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar in heavy medium saucepan. Boil until syrupy, about 25 minutes. Add both stocks and thyme. Boil until reduced to 1 1/4 cups, about 30 minutes. Strain sauce. Return to saucepan. Mix any pan drippings from pork into sauce (do not scrape roasting pan). Add butter; whisk until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cut pork into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Divide among 6 plates. Spoon Chipotle-glazed Apples alongside, dividing equally. Spoon sauce over and around pork.
Tips:
- Use firm, crisp apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- Make sure your glaze is thick enough: It should coat the back of a spoon.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: The apples should have enough space to cook evenly.
- Cook the apples until they are tender but still hold their shape: You don't want them to turn to mush.
- Serve the apples warm: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Chipotle glazed apples are a delicious and easy to make side dish. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of sweet, smoky, and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a new way to enjoy apples, give this recipe a try.
