pork_tenderloin.jpg (12776 bytes)
Manitoba’s 1500 hog producers take pride in producing the highest quality pork for your table. Of the many cuts available, pork tenderloin is the hands-down favourite, used here with a sweet and tangy glaze that blends perfectly with pork’s mild flavour.

2 (2) whole PORK TENDERLOINS, well trimmed
1/2 tsp (2 mL) curry powder
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
2 tsp (10 mL) canola oil
Combine curry powder, salt and pepper. Rub over surfaces of tenderloins. Drizzle with canola oil. Roast in a shallow roasting pan at 425°F(220°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 160°F(70°C). During last 10 minutes of roasting time, spoon some glaze evenly over tenderloins. Slice tenderloins to serve. Serve with Cherry Cranberry Glaze.

Cherry Cranberry Glaze:
4 tsp (20 mL) cornstarch
1 cup (250 mL) reserved cherry juice
1 cup (250 mL) canned unsweetened tart cherries
1/4 cup (50 mL) brown sugar
1/2 cup (125 mL) dried cranberries
1 tsp (5 mL) prepared mustard
2 tbsp (25 mL) Kirsch liqueur
In a small bowl, blend cornstarch into 2 tbsp (25 mL) cherry juice. Place remaining cherry juice in a small saucepan. Add cornstarch mixture, cherries, brown sugar and cranberries. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mixture boils and thickens. Stir in mustard and kirsch.

Makes 4-6 servings
