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:
- Prepare grill.
- Using sharp knife, cut tenderloin lengthwise almost in half, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Open and spread flat like a book.
- With meat mallet or between two sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper with rolling pin, pound meat to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Cut crosswise into 4 equal pieces; sprinkle cutlets with salt and pepper.
- In small bowl, combine plum jam, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
- Brush one side of each cutlet and cut side of each plum half with plum glaze.
- Place cutlets and plums on grill over medium heat, glaze side down, and cook 3 minutes.
- Brush cutlets and plums with remaining plum glaze; turn pork and plums over and cook until cutlets are lightly browned on both sides, just after lose their pink color throughout, and plums are hot, about 3 minutes longer.
Tips:
- To ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well done.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork by cutting into it. The meat should be pink and juicy in the center for medium-rare, slightly pink for medium, or no longer pink for well done.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- You can use any type of plum jam or preserves for the glaze. If you want a sweeter glaze, use a jam with a higher sugar content. If you prefer a more tart glaze, use a jam with a lower sugar content.
- If you don't have plum jam or preserves, you can make your own by simmering plums, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan until the mixture thickens.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Plum glazed pork tenderloin is an easy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The tenderloin is cooked to perfection and the plum glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish at home in no time.
