ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FRESH PLUM SAUCE
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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork loin. A boneless, skinless pork loin roast is the best choice for this recipe. It's a lean and tender cut of meat that will cook evenly.
- Sear the pork loin before roasting. Searing the pork loin in a hot skillet before roasting helps to develop flavor and brown the meat.
- Use a flavorful fruit sauce. The fruit sauce is what really makes this dish special. You can use any type of fruit you like, but some good options include apples, pears, peaches, or apricots.
- Roast the pork loin until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the pork loin should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit when it is cooked through.
- Let the pork loin rest before serving. Letting the pork loin rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute and makes the meat more tender.
Conclusion:
This pork loin with fruit sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The tender pork loin is complemented perfectly by the flavorful fruit sauce. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
