Pork Loin With Fruit Sauce Recipes

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:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the raisins, prunes and apricots in a small bowl; pour in the brandy. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until hot, about 2 minutes. Set aside until the dried fruit is plump, at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and apple and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, sage, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the garlic is softened, about 1 minute. Add the dried fruit?brandy mixture and cook until the skillet is dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and simmer until the mixture is very soft and the skillet is almost dry, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Push the handle of a wooden spoon into the center of one end of the pork roast; work the handle through the length of the roast to create a tunnel, widening the tunnel with your fingers or a small paring knife until about 1 1/2 inches wide.
• Stuff the dried fruit mixture into the tunnel, firmly pressing to make sure it?s packed into the pork roast. Rub the outside of the pork roast with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. If the pork has a skinny flap that runs along one side, tuck it under and tie kitchen twine around the pork in a few spots.
• Set a rack in a large roasting pan. Place the pork on the rack and roast until golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Let the pork rest at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Sprinkle pork with 2 teaspoons rosemary, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork (cut to fit, if necessary) and sauté until brown, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, transfer pork to plate. Add shallots to skillet and sauté until brown, about 4 minutes. Add apples, kumquats, and cranberries; stir until fruit mixture is heated through, about 1 minute. Add broth, wine, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon rosemary. Boil 1 minute. Return pork and any juices to skillet, turning to coat with sauce.
• Place skillet in oven and roast pork until thermometer inserted into center registers 145°F to 150°F, about 25 minutes. Transfer pork to platter; let stand 10 minutes. If thicker sauce is desired, boil juices in skillet until reduced enough to coat spoon. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Slice pork crosswise and spoon sauce over.

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, and jam over low heat until sugar has dissolved. Reserve 1/4 cup of sauce for basting the tenderloin while grilling. Combine remaining sauce with soda in a large plastic resealable bag; place meat in bag, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat grill for medium heat.
• Lightly oil preheated grill, and discard marinade. Cook tenderloin for 15 to 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Remove meat from grill, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/4 inch thick medallions.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Rub meat with oil; sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and thyme. Roast in small pan until interior temperature reads about 160 degrees, 1 1/4 hours. Tent with foil to keep warm; let stand.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large, shallow skillet over medium heat. Add half the apples, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Saute, shaking pan to toss apples until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons syrup, 2 tablespoons stock or apple juice, and half the dried fruit. Saute, tossing until fruit is soft, and mixture is juicy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to small bowl; cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Combine batches. Adjust seasoning.
• Meanwhile, slice rolls open; spread with mustard. Slice meat into 1/4-inch-thick slices; arrange over bottom halves of rolls, and mound with hot sauce. Cover with top of rolls; place on a baking sheet. Heat until rolls are toasty and filling is hot, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine apricots, figs and raisins over medium heat. Add apple juice and chicken broth. Add sage, butter, ginger, garlic, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the fruits are reconstituted and the liquid is reduced by half, about 25 minutes. Transfer the fruit mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until thick and smooth.
• Carve a tunnel through the center of the loin with a sharpening steel or wooden dowel. Widen the tunnel using your fingers. Inject the sauce into the opening using a pastry bag fitted with a metal tip. The filling should go all the way through the loin. Rub the pork all over with oil, herbs, salt and pepper. Sear the pork on a hot grill on all sides then transfer to a large baking pan. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers 160 degrees F, about 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer pork roast to a cutting board; let stand 10 minutes before carving into pinwheels. Serve with pan juices.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet and brown loin on all sides.
• Remove loin from skillet, add onion and cook until tender.
• Add flour; cook and stir until lightly browned.
• Add chick stock, wine, garlic, bay leaf, minced parsley, salt and pepper.
• Cook and stir over low heat until sauce is thoroughly blended.
• Place browned loin in small roasting pan; pour wine sauce over top.
• Cover and cook at 325 degrees for 2- 2 1/2 hours depending on size of loin.
• Remove loin and slice thinly.
• To serve, arrange loin on platter and drizzle with reserved sauce.
• Pass remaining sauce.

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:

• 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:

• Place roast in shallow roasting pan, and sprinkle roast with rosemary and peppers.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
• In a large saucepan, combine remaining ingredients.
