PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FIG PORT SAUCE
I saw they had fresh figs at the supermarket last week and they looked really good, I am not a big fan of figs by themselves, but I do think they can make a lovely addition to a sauce. I made this one and served it with pork on a sweet potato mash, it turned out really well. The pork weight is enough for three just up the weight for 4, the sauce amount should be enough for 4 servings.

Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the pork tenderloin for 20-25 minutes per pound, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a knife.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- If you don't have fig preserves, you can substitute another type of fruit preserves, such as apricot or peach.
- You can also add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar to the sauce for a richer flavor.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

This pork tenderloin with fig port sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The pork tenderloin is juicy and flavorful, and the fig port sauce is rich and decadent. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
