Pork Tenderloin smothered in a Grape Reduction…

by TastesSpicy

Come on does that heading not make you want to drool! I have a very hard time cooking my pork. It either dries out or it is under done and I still have to put it back in the oven which then dries it out! Its like a no win situation really.

But I think I am finally getting the hang of it! Cause this recipe was awesome! I cooked my pork until it was 140 degrees…then let it sit for 7 minutes. It was perfect.

The reduction…was a huge hit. I had these left over grapes in my fridge that had to be used up…so you can actually use strawberries or blackberries or even raspberries!


It was the perfect mid week meal especially since its freezing cold in MN currently. Thank God we don’t have any major snow storms…so I am not complaining…too much!

That does bring to mind though…I was driving home one cold, winters day…and I saw this guy/kid walking along the street. His pants was I am pretty sure down to his knees…showing everyone his not so um…clean boxers? And I got to wondering…I wonder if his tushy does not feel all that cold air? Really, would your bum not get a little chilly?

Do test out in your very own kitchens this super easy and quick Pork Tenderloin with grape reduction recipe! It will waw your other halves!

i’m sure him behind was cold, I’m sure. Two recipies in one week, vacation must have done you quite well and energetic. This is a good thing. interesting use of grapes, but then I’ve never use them to sauce that way either other than as Wine. Don’t think I’ve ever cooked a whole Tenderlion ever, so this would be an excuse to do on this and backlogged with the last recipe. This looks great.

Would it make any difference baking the pork with a pan with some water in it to moisturize the pork a its baking. i head some people do that baking bread also for better results and crust.

Hi Henry…thank you for stopping by!
You can Bake the pork with a little chicken stock or water in the bottom of the pan. As long as you keep the internal Temp of the pork to 140 your pork won’t dry out I promise!

Henry! I thought you were missing! I had not heard from you in a while!
For the Caribbean peppers I do not get it here in MN either. But I grow it from seeds every summer. That is the only way I get. For other ingredients…you can basically find anything on Amazon!
Or if you can find an ASIAN food market. They usually have imported foods from the Caribbean. This is where I get most of my stuff.
Have fun in Alaska!
