+ 1 lb. pork tenderloin
+ 1/4 tsp. salt + 1/4 tsp. dry mustard + 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper + 2 tsp. olive oil Spicy Sweet Cherry-Onion Jam: + 1/2 of 16-oz. bag frozen unsweetened dark sweet cherries, pitted, chopped and thawed + 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter + 2 c. red onions, coarsely chopped + 2 cloves garlic, minced + 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt + 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper + 1 Tbsp. aged balsamic vinegar + 4 tsp. packed brown sugar + 1/4 tsp. Chinese 5-spice What to do:
1. Heat oven to 425°F. Combine salt, dry mustard and pepper in small bowl. Rub tenderloin with oil. Sprinkle salt mixture evenly over pork; slightly rub into surface of pork.
2. Lightly brown tenderloin over medium-high heat for 2-4 minutes in large heavy skillet. Transfer pork to rack in shallow roasting pan. Roast in heated oven for 20-27 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F, followed by a 5-minute rest time. 3. Heat butter in 10-inch, heavy nonstick skillet. Add onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes or until very tender, stirring occasionally. (If necessary, reduce heat to low halfway during cooking to prevent onions from browning.) 4. Stir in vinegar, Chinese 5-spice and brown sugar. Then stir in thawed cherries. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat about 5 minutes more or until most of the liquid has evaporated. 5. To serve, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve with Sweet Cherry-Onion Jam. * Both the onions and balsamic vinegar become mellow and sweet the longer they're cooked, making them pair deliciously with dark sweet cherries. Serve this easy-to-make entrée with a wild-and-white rice pilaf, steamed beans and a tossed salad for a simple, festive holiday dinner * Recipe courtesy of National Cherry Growers & Industries Foundation * Recipe and photo courtesy of National Pork Board.
