2 (1 pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed if necessary
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
one pinch ground cloves
1 1/2 pounds black plums, pitted and quartered
- Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add 1/2 tablespoon canola
oil to pan, and swirl to coat.
- Add onion and garlic; sauté 5 minutes,
stirring constantly. Add sugar and the rest of the ingredients; bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, for
30-40 minutes or until plums break down and sauce thickens, stirring
occasionally.
- Remove from heat. Adjust taste if
necessary adding a sprinkle of kosher salt or a little more sugar if
needed for sweetness. If fruit is slightly bitter, the salt should
combat that.
- This sauce can be made a day in advance.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tablespoons oil; swirl to coat, adding more oil if necessary.
- Sprinkle pork
evenly with salt and black pepper. Add to pan; sauté 7 minutes,
turning to brown on all sides.
- Transfer pork to a foil-lined jelly-roll pan; coat with about 1/2 cup
plum sauce and use a spoon to spread it around on the pork.
- Roast pork for 15 minutes. Remove pork from oven. Turn pork over; coat with
an additional 1/2 cup plum sauce.
- Roast 10 minutes or until a
thermometer inserted in thickest portion of pork registers 155°.
- Remove
from pan; let stand 10 minutes. Slice crosswise. Serve with remaining
plum sauce.
