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.

A nice cozy meal for when the nights get colder. It is great with orzo and walnut pilaf! I just happened to have spare blueberry juice, but any juice would work.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat. Use a mortar and pestle to crush the peppercorns, marjoram, rosemary and garlic powder together. Sprinkle the spices around the meat and wrap in plastic wrap. Set aside for up to 15 minutes. (If you are going to let this rest longer, place in fridge and remove 15 minutes before cooking.).
- To roast plums, place the fruit skin side to the bottom of the pan and leaves from 2 rosemary sprigs in an 8-inch-square baking dish.
- Whisk water, balsamic vinegar, 4 tablespoons sugar and peppercorns in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean; add the seeds and bean to the vinegar mixture. Pour the mixture over the plums. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons (turbinado or white) sugar.
- Roast the plums, uncovered, until tender and beginning to break down, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Once the meat has sat for 15 minutes, heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or another oven proof pan). Cook the meat for 5-6 minutes turning so that all sides of the tenderloin are browned. Place skillet in the oven and cook until the meat reaches 155 degrees, about 12-15 minutes. Once done, remove the pork from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. (In that time the meat will reach the desired 160 degrees.).
- Once the plums are done roasting, discard the rosemary and the vanilla bean. Strain the roasting liquid into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, 6 to 8 minutes. Whilst reducing the sauce tent the plums with foil over the roasting pan. (I would suggest not starting your reduction until the meat is cooked and resting.).
- After the meat has rested, carve on the diagonal into slices about 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick.
- To serve place a quarter of plums onto the plate. Place the pork on top and drizzle with the balsamic reduction. Garnish with additional rosemary if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm to the touch and has a light pink color. Avoid any tenderloins that are slimy or have a grayish tint.
- Trim the pork tenderloin: Remove any excess fat from the tenderloin before cooking. This will help the pork cook evenly and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Season the pork tenderloin: Season the pork tenderloin with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the pork.
- Cook the pork tenderloin properly: Cook the pork tenderloin to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest: Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the pork, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad are all great options for serving with roasted pork tenderloin.
Conclusion:
Roasted pork tenderloin with fresh plum sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork is tender and juicy, and the plum sauce is sweet and tart, with a hint of spice. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
