Pork Tenderloin

Category: Entrees
Ingredients:

2 pork tenderloins of equal size
Marinade:
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lite soy sauce
1 t. cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of ground clove
Pinch of allspice
Marinate for a 1/2 hour or so
A hunk of butter
A splash of olive oil
Big apple, sliced
Big orange, sliced
5 or 6 dates, pitted and chopped
Pinches of cinnamon, ground cloves, pepper, salt, allspice, ground ginger and anything else you feel like pinching
1 t. of veal demiglaze, more if you like, (available at your gourmet market)
1 cup of white wine, riesling works well. You may want to add more.
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup orange juice

Preparation - Directions:

In a large sauté skillet with a lid, put your hunk of butter and olive oil. Brown your pork tenderloin just until light. Pull out of pan and set aside. In the same pan put your sliced apples, sliced oranges, dates, making sure there is still some butter in the pan. Add chicken broth, orange juice, wine and demiglaze. Let this reduce a little. Add all of your pinches of stuff. This is a good time to taste to see if all is well. After the sauce has thickened, put the pork back in your pan, put your lid on, your flame on low and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the pork and slice into inch and a half slices. Pork will be pink in the center. Put slices back into sauce and let cook maybe 2 minutes more. Plate, pour sauce over the top, fruit and all. Save some sauce for side dish. I like mashed yams or wild rice. Enjoy!
