Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 lb pork tenderloins
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
7 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup dried apricots
1 cup dried pitted plums
1 cup dried peaches
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 cup port wine
1 cup pomegranate juice
2 cinnamon sticks (3 inch)
1/2 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. In 12-inch skillet, heat 6 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Cook pork in oil 6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Place pork in pan, reserving drippings in skillet. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of pork.
  • Roast uncovered 18 to 20 minutes or until thermometer reads 145°F. Cover loosely with foil; let stand at least 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to drippings in skillet. Add apricots, plums, peaches, cherries and pine nuts. Cook over medium-high heat 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until nuts are toasted. Add wine, juice and cinnamon sticks. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Simmer 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in broth; simmer 15 minutes longer or until fruit is tender. Slice pork; serve with sauce.
