ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FRESH PLUM SAUCE



Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Fresh Plum Sauce image

When shopping for this recipe be sure to choose plums (or any other stone fruit) that are fairly firm so they keep their shape after roasting. You know that selfish jerk that has to feel-up every piece of fruit before deciding on one? This time, be that jerk.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pork tenderloin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 red onion, sliced
2 shallots, sliced
3 fresh thyme sprigs, or more to taste
2 firm plums, pitted and each cut into 4 wedges
1 cup water
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon cold butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously season pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tenderloin until browned on all sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer tenderloin to a plate.
  • Saute onion with a pinch of salt in the same skillet until just softening, 3 to 5 minutes. Add shallots, reduce heat to medium, and cook and stir until shallots and onion are golden brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir thyme into onion mixture; place tenderloin over onion mixture, and set plum quarters, skin-side down, around pork tenderloin. Transfer skillet to preheated oven.
  • Cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork and plums to a plate.
  • Place skillet over medium-high heat and pour water and balsamic vinegar into onion mixture. Bring mixture to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook and stir until liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes; remove from heat. Whisk butter into mixture until melted and sauce is shiny. Pour sauce over pork and plums.

PLUM CHIPOTLE SAUCE



Plum Chipotle Sauce image

When plums are in season, this is a great alternative to putting up jam with all those plums. This is a great addition with pork, chicken, or as a topping on cream cheese served with crackers.

Provided by LKVESELKA

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Sauce Recipes

Time 4h40m

Yield 128

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 quarts very ripe plums, pitted, or as needed
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 onion, finely chopped
6 cups white sugar
½ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Southwest chipotle seasoning
1 tablespoon roasted garlic seasoning
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (remove seeds for milder flavor if desired)
7 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
8 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Place the plums, a few at a time, into a colander set over a large bowl. With gloved hands, squeeze the plums in the colander, forcing the juice through the holes of the colander. Discard spent pulp, and repeat to produce 8 cups of plum juice.
  • Pour 3/4 cup of plum juice into a small saucepan with garlic and onion, place over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the juice-onion mixture into a large pot, and add the remaining 7 1/2 cups of plum juice. Stir in the sugar, apple cider vinegar, Southwest chipotle seasoning, roasted garlic seasoning, jalapeno pepper, salt, and liquid smoke flavoring until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the sauce down until thickened, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the sauce into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

FRESH PLUM TOMATO SAUCE



Fresh Plum Tomato Sauce image

This is the closest recipe I've found to the deliciously simple tomato sauces I've tried in Italy. Since in the States our tomatoes aren't sweetened by rich, volcanic soil, a little bit of sugar helps make the sauce more vibrant.

PLUM SAUCE



Plum Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     condiment

Time 20m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup canned crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup mashed, seeded Chinese salted plums
1/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 tablespoons apricot preserves
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red chile peppers

Steps:

  • In a blender or food processor, combine pineapple, juice, salted plums, brown sugar, vinegar, preserves, and garlic and process until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan, and add the crushed red chile peppers. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and use as a dipping sauce for Egg Rolls.

Tips:

  • Properly ripened plums: Use ripe and flavorful plums for the best taste. Plums that are too tart or unripe will result in a sauce that is lacking in sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • Balance of flavors: Adjust the amount of sugar, vinegar, and spices to suit your taste preferences. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add more sugar. If you like a tangier sauce, add more vinegar. And if you want a spicier sauce, add more ginger or red pepper flakes.
  • Use a variety of plums: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of plums to create a complex and flavorful sauce. For example, you could use a combination of red plums, black plums, and yellow plums.
  • Experiment with different spices: In addition to ginger and red pepper flakes, you can also add other spices to your plum sauce, such as cinnamon, cloves, or star anise. Be creative and experiment until you find a combination that you love.
  • Store the sauce properly: Plum sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. You can also freeze the sauce for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Plum sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, egg rolls, and other appetizers. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken, pork, or tofu. And it can even be used as a glaze for roasted vegetables. No matter how you choose to use it, plum sauce is sure to add a delicious and flavorful touch to your meals.
