Pork With Plum Sauce

last year

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.

Annie's Chinese Plum Sauce

That's funny...Today I was gutting my pantry and found my last jar of this sauce. Need to find plums this year! My proportions are a little different, but it is from Ball originally (out of one of the early '90's books, I think). I never noticed it was in the big book. Here it is with canning info: Asian Plum Sauce 8 cups pitted and chopped plums 1 3/4 cups dark brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 2/3 cup cider vinegar 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1 medium jalapeno pepper -- finely chopped (we use ribs and seeds) 4 teaspoons mustard seed 2 teaspoons salt 6 cloves garlic -- minced 2 tablespoons minced ginger -- or 1 tbsp. powdered ginger Bring all ingredients except plums to a boil in a non-aluminum pan. Stir in plums. Simmer until thick, stirring often. Mash with a potato masher or blend if you want a smoother sauce. To can: Fill hot, clean jars with hot sauce, leaving 1/2" headspace. Wipe rims, adjust lids and process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes at 0-1000 ft., 25 minutes, 1001-6000 ft., or 30 minutes, above 6000 ft. Makes about 6 half pints.

Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon Cream Sauce

Yes that's the original recipe I posted back in 2006 on the WFD with this photo "Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon Sauce". It's a good recipe from Diana Rattray,'Your Guide to Southern U.S. Cuisine.' I love your addition of cream Alexa. I also don't use a grill (don't have one) but bake it in the sauce in the toaster oven. SharonCb

SO Sick of Chicken and Ribs!

Sorry, Suzieque, this is another chicken dish. It's our dinner tonight so I thought I'd post it. I included some of my own Notes after the recipe. Chicken With Artichokes 3 1/2 to 4 pounds chicken legs and/or thighs 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and halved 1 medium onion, cut into chunks about the same size as artichoke halves 1 pound white button mushrooms (halved) 2 tablespoons brown mustard (or Dijon) 1 clove garlic, chopped 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup red or white wine vinegar 1/4 cup red or white wine 1/4 teaspoon dried basil 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon 1 bay leaf Salt and pepper (to taste) Preheat oven to 350. Place chicken, skin side up, in a baking pan. Distribute onion, artichokes and mushrooms over the top. Combine olive oil, mustard, red wine, red wine vinegar, garlic, dried herbs, bay leaf, salt and pepper and pour over the chicken. Bake for 1 1/2 hours basting every half hour. Notes: I leave the artichoke hearts and mushrooms whole and add a little less oil...maybe 3 T. Because of that I often use 2 cans of artichoke hearts. I also season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. The pan you use should be large enough to hold the chicken pieces in a single layer to allow nice browning. Placing them tightly in the pan is fine. You might not need the entire 1 1/2 hours cooking time...just check. I've subbed Herbs de Provence for the basil/thyme/tarragon.

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.
