I found this in Better Homes & Gardens while looking for heart healthy recipes. You wouldn't think it would be as delicious as it is since it is so easy and quick to make. I followed the reciipe exactly and can't find any reason to change one thing. Ingredients:
16 ounces pork tenderloin |
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 medium pears, peeled and coarsely chopped |
1/4 cup pure maple syrup |
2 tablespoons dried tart cherries, halved |
2 tablespoons dry white wine |
Directions:
1. Trim fat from meat.
2. Cut meat into 1/4-inch slices.
3. In a medium bowl combine rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
4. Add meat slices; toss to coat.
5. In a large skillet, cook meat, half at a time, in hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until meat is slightly pink in center, turning once.
6. Remove meat from skillet; set aside.
7. In the same skillet combine pears, maple syrup, dried cherries, and white wine.
8. Bring to boiling; reduce heat.
9. Boil gently, uncovered, about 3 minutes or just until pears are tender. Return meat to skillet with pears; heat through.
10. To serve, use a slotted spoon to transfer meat to a warm serving platter. Spoon the pear mixture over meat.
