Pork With Plum Sauce

3 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.

help with pan sauce for pork tenderloin

For making sauces, there are two prime ingredients that a chef cannot overlook having in their refrig! They are beef and chicken bases. I buy mine from Smart and Final; they come in plastic jars about the size of the old Noxema jars - lol. They are thick, like paste almost, and are highly concentrated mixtures made from beef or chicken as the case may be. After adding a little liquid to the fond in a pan and scraping it all into a liquidy mixture, then you use about a tsp. or so (depending on the qty. of sauce you're seeking) and add more water or liquids to dilute. I usually use the beef base for pork. I then add some more wine, a small portion of which has been thoroughly mixed in a little 2 oz. cup with, say, 2 tsp. of cornstarch as my thickener and start pouring that into the sauce until it reaches the thickness that I want. Sometimes finish it off with a little butter, which adds a nice gloss and flavor. These jars last me 2-3 years easily. They do have a lot of salt since it is so concentrated, which also allows it to be so long-lasting. Adds tremendous flavor boosts. I learned this during a French cooking class of 10 weeks when one doesn't have access to brown or chicken stock. arline

That sounds good Joan! I made a ham last week and used a Jacques Pepin recipe using maple syrup, ketchup,hot chili sauce (sriracha) and balsamic vinegar. It has an awesome flavour.

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.

Speaking of pork, this is always well received (also nice for Christmas!). I pretty much use the tenderloins for this and grill them. The sauce is really tasty; I double it. Roast Pork with Plum Sauce 1 (2 1/2-3 lb) boneless pork loin (or 3 pork tenderloins) 1-2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon ground sage Salt and pepper Plum Sauce: 1/2 cup plum jam 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1/8 teaspoon (scant) ground allspice Preheat oven to 325. Combine oil, garlic, sage and pepper (I added some salt and olive oil). Rub mixture over pork. Place in roasting pan and bake uncovered till meat thermometer reaches 145. Combine all sauce ingredients and bring to boil. Reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes. Spread over roast during last 1/2 hour of cooking. Serve remainder of sauce at the table.

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.
