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.

Steps:
- Place tenderloin in a lightly greased or cooking sprayed nonreactive roasting pan. In a small saucepan, heat juice, brown sugar, pineapple juice, bouillon, red wine, balsamic vinegar, dried apple, and craisins until sugar is dissolved; pour over pork in the roasting pan.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350° for about 45 minutes, or until pork is no longer pink and a meat thermometer registers at least 150° in the center.
- Remove from oven, set meat aside and let stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, drain pan juices, reserving fruit. Add juices to a sauté pan, which has been heating on high heat. Boil down and reduce juices by half to make sauce.
- Slice pork into ¼" medallions and serve with sauce drizzled on top and spoon over some of the reserved fruit. (Optional: for a bit of a kick, it might be nice to whisk ½ tsp of Dijon Mustard into the reduction sauce) Serves 4 to 6.

Steps:
- Make stuffing:
- Simmer apricots, prunes, and Port in a small heavy saucepan, covered, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes.
- Cook onion and shallot in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add apple and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until apple is just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in apricot mixture and cool.
- Stuff and roast pork:
- Preheat oven to 500°F with rack in middle.
- Make a pocket in center of roast by making a horizontal 1 1/2-inch-wide cut into 1 end of roast with a long thin knife, repeating from opposite end so pocket runs all the way through. Then make a vertical cut through center (forming a cross) to widen pocket. Push about 1 cup stuffing into pocket using a long-handled wooden spoon (you may need to stuff from both sides if roast is long). Reserve remaining stuffing for sauce.
- Season roast with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and put in a large flameproof roasting pan. Wrap with bacon, between rib bones, tucking ends under roast. Roast pork 20 minutes, then reduce oven to 325°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted 2 inches into center of roast (do not touch bone or stuffing) registers 155°F, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours total.
- Transfer roast to a cutting board, reserving pan, and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature of meat will rise to about 160°F; meat will be slightly pink.)
- Make sauce:
- Skim fat from pan drippings and reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons fat. Straddle pan across 2 burners and add Port to drippings, then deglaze pan by boiling over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Strain pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids.
- Cook shallot in reserved fat in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in pan juices, 1 1/4 cups water, and reserved fruit stuffing and bring to a simmer. Whisk together arrowroot and remaining 1/4 cup water until smooth, then whisk into sauce with any juices from cutting board.
- Simmer sauce, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Carve roast into chops by cutting between ribs, then serve with sauce.

Steps:
- Cut pork crosswise into 1-inch-thick medallions; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Melt butter and oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add pork and sauté until brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork to plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Add shallots to skillet and stir 1 minute. Add cream, broth and Calvados; boil until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, stirring up browned bits, about 5 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Divide medallions among 6 plates. Top with sauce; serve with compote.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Pork: Select a pork tenderloin that is firm and has a consistent pink color. Avoid any meat that has brown or gray spots, as this may indicate spoilage.
- Trim and Season the Pork: Remove any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and season it generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder, to taste.
- Sear the Pork: Sear the pork tenderloin in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help to lock in the juices and create a flavorful crust.
- Roast the Pork: Transfer the seared pork tenderloin to a roasting pan and cook it in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). This will ensure that the pork is cooked through while still remaining tender and juicy.
- Make the Fruit Sauce: While the pork is roasting, prepare the fruit sauce. This can be done by simmering your favorite fruits, such as apples, pears, peaches, or berries, in a saucepan with sugar, water, and spices. Alternatively, you can use a store-bought fruit sauce.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the pork tenderloin is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with the fruit sauce and your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin with fruit sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can easily create a tender, juicy pork tenderloin that is bursting with flavor. The fruit sauce adds a sweet and tangy touch that perfectly complements the pork. Serve this dish with your favorite sides for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
