Steps:
- Rinse the pork loin, pat dry, and place in a shallow glass or ceramic baking dish and set aside.
- Whisk together the cherries, wine, vinegar, cranberry juice, garlic, shallots, and rosemary in a bowl. Pour this mixture over the pork, cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place the pork in the heated skillet. Cook the pork on all sides, until lightly brown, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Pour the reserved marinade over the pork and place the skillet in the oven. Roast, basting several times, about 20 to 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 150 to 155 degrees (160 degrees - about 5 minutes longer - for medium-well). The meat will be a very light pink color. (Note: The pork will continue to cook after it is removed from the oven.).
- Remove from the baking dish and place on a grooved carving board. Cover the pork loosely with foil and let it rest 5 to 10 minutes before carving.
- Season with salt and pepper. Slice into 1/4-inch pieces and spoon the pan juices over the pork. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Pat the chops dry, and rub them all over with a mixture of the rosemary, salt, pepper and garlic. Cover, and marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator. Bring the chops back to room temperature before grilling.
- Heat one side of a charcoal or gas grill, and put the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Cook the chops over the hottest part of the fi re until well seared on both sides, about 3 or 4 minutes per side. Move them to the cool part of the grill, cover and cook until done, anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the fi re and the thickness of the chops. The pork is done when it's just fi rm to the touch, its juices run just slightly pink and the meat is rosy in the center, or when an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees in the thickest part of the chop (the temperature will continue to rise as the chops rest). Transfer them to a platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest while you make the sauce.
- Put 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the shallots, and cook until soft, 2 or 3 minutes. Add the cherries, wine and whatever juices have accumulated around the pork chops; cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces into a thin syrup, 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, a little at a time, until it's incorporated into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chops, and serve.

Steps:
- Using sharp knife, cut bones from pork chops. Cover and refrigerate pork. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add bones; sauté until brown, about 15 minutes. Pour off any accumulated fat. Add 2 cups broth to skillet. Simmer over low heat until broth is reduced to 1 cup, scraping up any browned bits on bottom of skillet, about 25 minutes. Remove bones from skillet. Add cherries and vinegar to skillet; simmer until reduced to 2/3 cup, about 8 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
- Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; sauté until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Add remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until pork is just firm and no longer pink in center, about 6 minutes. Transfer pork to plates. Tent with foil to keep warm.
- Pour cherry mixture into same skillet. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until sauce is reduced to 3/4 cup and coats back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon over pork.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: A pork loin or tenderloin is ideal for this recipe, as they are both lean and tender cuts of meat.
- Sear the pork before roasting: Searing the pork helps to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to your desired doneness: The internal temperature of the pork should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the pork rest before slicing: Allowing the pork to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing helps to redistribute the juices and make the meat more tender.
- Serve the pork with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad are all great options.
Conclusion:
Roasted pork with dried cherries is a delicious and easy-to-make main course that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the dried cherries add a sweet and tart flavor that complements the pork perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
