Lol...I have grape jam :) I really don't like cooked fruit or many jellies/jams/preserves. I know that they really compliment pork, but I've never been a big fan of sweeet stuff besides chocolate :) I did find Weed's recipe earlier, made it, and it is fabulous!!! Thanks so much!! Christy PORK TENDERLOIN WITH MAPLE GLAZE -- Weed 3 12- to 14-ounce pork tenderloins, cut in half 2 Tbl crumbled dried sage leaves or rubbed sage 2 Tbl crushed garlic Oil to moisten sage/garlic Salt, pepper 2 Tbl. Oil 2 Tbl Butter + 1 more for shallots 1 cup pure maple syrup + ¼ cup to finish sauce ¾ cup apple cider vinegar + ¼ cup to deglaze pan 2 Tbl. Dijon mustard ½ cup shallots, finely diced Mix sage and garlic, add a little oil to moisten. Rub all over tenderloins, sprinkle on salt and pepper and let sit one hour. Mix 1 cup maple syrup, ¾ cup apple cider vinegar and the Dijon and set aside. Melt butter and oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat until hot and bubbling. Add pork tenderloins and cook, turning to brown on all sides. The garlic and butter will start burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan  that is ok and will make the sauce delicious. Pork will be very dark too, and almost crispy on the outside. Cook pork until internal temperature reaches 140. (pork will be med-rare, it will cook further as it rests and in the last step.) Remove pork from pan, put on a platter and cover loosely with foil. Keeping the heat on med-high, add the shallots to the pan along with another tablespoon of butter. Saute shallots, stirring constantly, until they are limp and taking on a bronze color, about 3 minutes. If they start to burn before they go limp, lower heat, but bring it back up for the next step. Deglaze the pan with ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, scraping up as much of the burnt stuff on the bottom of the pan as possible. Add the maple syrup/vinegar/Dijon mix to pan. Lower heat to a lively simmer and cook until sauce thickens. Keep digging around on the bottom to get even more of the burnt stuff. Sauce will be very dark, almost black, from the goodies on the bottom of the pan. When sauce is desired consistency, add ¼ cup more maple syrup and return pork and any accumulated juices to pan. Heat the pork through in the simmering sauce. Do not overcook pork  inside should be nicely pink, like a med-well steak. I just cut it open and peek :) Put one piece of pork on each plate and cover with sauce. Serve with white or brown rice and smother that with the sauce too.

Ccountry_bumpkin_al, let me know how the liners work out in the Nesco. I bought some but haven't had a chance to try them yet. I was thinking they'd work well for ribs and things with tomato sauce or something that would tend to burn on a bit more easily. Otherwise I've been lining it with foil when I want an easier cleanup and that works well. As for a recipe? Sometimes I'll brown the ribs a bit first but not always. Make a rib rub using your favorite spices, rub some ribs and cook about 275ð for 2-4 hours with a bit of beer, Dr. Pepper, root beer, water, vinegar, 7Up or a liquid of your choice. Add a little BBQ sauce when they're nearly done if you like for nice, tender and tasty ribs. You can crisp them up after too if you like, but it's optional. I've gotten to the point I like a dry rub rib better than dripping with sauce. But, saucy ribs are good too. I usually make little foil packets for easier cleanup and it seems to cook them better too.

Sour Cream Rye Bread from "The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook" by Beth Hensperger, (2000) Havard Common Press, Boston, MA page 139 2-pound loaf 3/4 cup water 2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 7/8 cup sour cream 3 TBLSP dark honey or molasses 3 TBLSP vegetable oil 2 1/2 cups bread flour 1 1/2 cup dark rye flour 1 1/2 TBLSP instant potato flakes 1 TBLSP + 2 tsp. gluten 1 TBLSP + 1 tsp. caraway seeds 1 1/2 tsp. ground coriander seeds 2 tsp. salt 1 TBLSP bread machine yeast or 2 1/2 tsp. SAF yeast Add wet ingredients and then dry ingredients into loaf pan in the bread machine. Use the standard setting. I bake mine in the bread machine but you can use the dough setting I guess. If using the bread machine to bake, set the crust on medium. Beth says the loaf is delicate when coming out of the pan so remove carefully and cool it standing on its side. I left it in the bread pan overnight to cool so didn't notice any delicacy taking it out. Lpink's notes: I used low fat sour cream and some non fat greek yogurt since I was almost out of sour cream. I drastically reduced the caraway and corriander. I used crushed caraway since I don't like seedy rye. I think I only used about 1/3 of both for the recipe. The flavor was still good with just that amount. I also used somewhat less salt, again maybe 1 1/2 tsp. I used half honey and half molasses for the sweetener. I also used some whole wheat bread flour in place of the plain bread flour, but not a whole lot, like maybe the equivalent of 1/2 cup for this recipe.

Posted by foodonastump (My Page) on Thu, Mar 8, 12 at 7:57 I tried out this Pork Lo Mein recipe in an effort to find a good base for the Lo Mein for ARgirl wanted.

Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in 12-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet over high heat until just smoking. Add half of pork in single layer, breaking up clumps with wooden spoon. Cook, without stirring, 1 minute. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons wine to skillet; cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is reduced and pork is well coated, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer pork to medium bowl and repeat with remaining pork, 1 teaspoon oil, and remaining 2 tablespoons wine. Wipe skillet clean with paper towels. 4.

Drain noodles and transfer back to Dutch oven; add cooked stir-fry mixture and garlic-chili sauce, tossing noodles constantly, until sauce coats noodles. Serve immediately. o RE: Cookalong #42 ---------- PORK clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by jude31 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 8, 12 at 16:30 I tried this recipe, recently, from "Savoring Time in the Kitchen". It is so good and again I couldn't print the picture. I am so sorry, because it looked mouth-watering good. I just have to learn what I'm not doing or doing wrong. jude Pork Schnitzel with Lemon Caper Butter This is a very tasty recipe that I found in our local newspaper. It had achieved the recognition of being one of the top 25 recipes that the newspaper had tested and reviewed in 2011. It's an adaptation of a recipe from the Gourmet Today cookbook. Since pork tenderloin is our favorite cut of pork, I'm always looking for new ways to serve it. This was...delicious! The salty flavor of the capers pairs so well with the breaded schnitzel. It was also a fairly easy dinner to put together and the cooking time is quick. I served it with a simple salad on the side. Enjoy! Pork Schnitzel with Lemon Caper Butter Adapted from Gourmet Today Printable Recipe Note: I cut the recipe in half and only used 1 egg Makes 4 servings 1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin, slice into 1-inch-thick rounds 6 tablespoons cup unsalted butter (divided in half) 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided) 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and patted dry 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice Salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 eggs 1 ½ cups fine dry bread crumbs 6 tablespoons vegetable oil (about) (divided) Garnish: 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley Lemon wedges Line 1 baking sheet with waxed paper and another baking sheet with paper toweling. Pound pork tenderloin rounds between two sheets of plastic wrap to ¼-inch thickness. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. In a small saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in capers, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat and cover loosely to keep warm. Pat pork rounds dry and season with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, beat eggs with ¼ teaspoon salt. Put bread crumbs in another pie plate or shallow bowl. Dip pork rounds in egg mixture, one at a time, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in bread crumbs and place on wax-paper-lined baking sheet. In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil with 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat until foam subsides. Add 2 to 3 pieces of pork, without crowding meat, and cook, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Transfer cooked rounds to paper-towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in preheated oven. Cook remaining pork pieces in the same way, adding 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter for each batch. Serve pork drizzled with caper butter and sprinkled with parsley and lemon wedges on the side. o RE: Cookalong #42 ---------- PORK clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by chase (My Page) on Fri, Mar 9, 12 at 15:31 FOAS, Pork Lo Mein recipe reminded me of this one.

You can brown sliced onions along with the pork if you want a lower sodium alternative but I like the flavor of the onion soup mix.
