Categories     Meat and Poultry     Pork     Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Time 8h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat
2 cups olive oil
¾ cup soy sauce
2 medium limes, juiced
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons flavor enhancer (such as Accent®)
1 (10 ounce) jar cherry preserves
½ cup red wine
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Place pork in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour in olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced onion, ginger, sugar, and flavor enhancer for marinade. Toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Remove pork from the refrigerator and place in a shallow baking pan. Cover with some of the marinade and discard the rest.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
  • While pork is resting, prepare sauce: Combine cherry preserves, wine, corn syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil; remove from heat. Keep warm.
  • Drizzle sauce over pork, top with almonds, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork loin. Look for a pork loin that is at least 2 inches thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the pork loin is juicy and flavorful.
  • Score the pork loin. This will help the pork loin cook evenly and prevent it from drying out. Use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in the pork loin, about 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart.
  • Marinate the pork loin. Marinating the pork loin in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to infuse it with flavor. Allow the pork loin to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Roast the pork loin. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pork loin on a roasting rack in a baking pan. Roast the pork loin for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the cherry and almond glaze. While the pork loin is roasting, make the cherry and almond glaze. Combine cherries, almonds, brown sugar, butter, and seasonings in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
  • Glaze the pork loin. Brush the pork loin with the cherry and almond glaze. Return the pork loin to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and browned.
  • Let the pork loin rest. Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the pork loin, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cherry and Almond Glazed Pork Loin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The pork loin is juicy and flavorful, and the cherry and almond glaze is the perfect complement. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
