Pork With Plum Sauce

4 years ago

This is easy and so tasty with the sauce. I always grill pork tenderlon for this making cooking time quicker. I also don’t add any sauce during the last part of grilling the pork. I serve all the sauce with the grilled pork. Easy to make extra sauce which I often do. This is especially nice for a Fall dinner, even though we have plenty of heat ahead of us here in SoCal. :-(

Roast Pork with Plum Sauce

1 (2 1/2-3 lb) boneless pork loin (or equivalent of pork tenderloin)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. ground sage
1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 T. olive oil

Plum Sauce:
1/2 cup plum jam
1 1/2 T. red wine vinegar
2 T. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/8 tsp. ground allspice

Preheat oven to 325.

Combine garlic, sage, pepper, salt and oil. Rub mixture over pork. Place in roasting pan and cook until pork reaches a temp of 145.

Combine all sauce ingredients and bring to boil. Reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes. Spread over pork during last 1/2 hour of cooking. Serve remainder of sauce at the table.

St. Dalfour has plum preserves which are listed at a local store! I love cooking with their preserves. They're sweet, as in fruit, but not the SUGAR of jam. I'm definitely trying it soonish. :) Thanks!

Do you make your own plum jam? I love plum sauce but it's always too sweet. I never thought of making my own out of plum jam (rather than from plums, which I'm not doing). Anyway, I've saved your recipe. I can probably goose it to be less sweet. :) Cool.

I just got mine (2011 version from Publications International, edited by Linda Z) today, literally just finished it and came to post. It really does just repeat what the NCHFP site says, I'm not sure all of the recipes are there but the basics are (no soups or meats, just fruit and veggies) but it is very clear and easy to follow, I like the spiral binding. I also like that it's half the price of So Easy, and that I don't have to refer to website or Ball book (not a spiral binding). Very good for beginner - I was going to give it to my sister, but she's moving to Japan so I may have to hang onto it for a while ;-) - or she may find it very handy there, the problem might be finding jars, though new guidance is that you can reuse commercial jars as long as standard rings and flats fit. I can send her some flats and she can reuse rings over and over. Though I think they tend to use a lot of plastic packaging over there, not glass jars.

I love a mustard cream sauce on pork. I make a version of Weed's recipe. You could skip the first sauté. Just slice into medallions raw and saute for a couple minutes each side. (That would also save your stovetop from so many splatters.) ;)

How would you make cake special enough to be called a Christmas cake?

I didn't see your post till now, chloebud. I'm making an apple cranberry stuffed pork roast for Christmas so that sounds like something I'd like! I can't believe the amount of time I've spent planning this cake! But both the white velvet and red velvet recipes are new to me and I've never made white chocolate frosting.Everything needs to scale down for a 6" cake. I've never made a three layer cake so I have to figure out how much frosting I need for a 6" semi-naked cake. I may be short because I only bought one 4 oz. bar of chocolate but I can make regular buttercream for the sides and any piping I may do. I had melted white chocolate seize up on me once so that's another concern.

I'm not a fan of pork tenderloin, but the sauce might make it something different... and good tasting.

Yum, that sounds fabulous to me. I'd have to make my own plum jam -- and oddly enough, I've never made plum jam before either. Pork loin is something we generally have one of three ways: 1 - with roasted vegs in the romertopf, 2 - smoked and/or as 'bbq', or 3 - on the rotisserie on the grill, with a pan beneath it containing 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup), and 1 can of beer. Baste the pork with the beer/butter mix, and then use the drippings to make the most amazing pork gravy ever. Yum!

eta: It sounds like you've made this often. What do you usually like to serve with it?

plllog, I don’t make the jam but my BIL makes the best plum jam and keeps us supplied. Right, you could definitely tweak the sauce for less sweet.

Kate, the sauce would also be good with roast chicken.

party_music, making your own plum jam would make the sauce even better. Your variations for the pork loin sound yummy! When I make this I almost always have a potato dish, such as scalloped or au gratin and some roasted veggies. DH likes roasted brussels sprouts, green beans or asparagus. If it appeals, a combination of something like butternut squash, carrots and sweet potato would be nice roasted. Anything you like would be good, but I do like a potato dish with it. BTW, I’ve never made any jam before, plum or otherwise.

Thank you! I make all kinds of jams and jellies, just never made plum because they aren’t usually seen around here. I follow the basics from an old Joy of Cooking, and go pectin-free. It’s easy and I often make just one jar at a time. I’ll need to keep my eye out for plums from PA at the farm stand.

My sister and BIL live in Seattle and have a very prolific Italian Prune Plum tree. The jam he makes is wonderful. The only downside to the tree is their Golden Retriever loved the plums and ate so many he almost died from being “plugged up“ with the pitts. Lesson learned!

Omg! I’m glad he survived! I will definitely look for that kind of plum.
