Ingredients

  • 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large apple, sliced
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened apple juice
  • 3 tablespoons dried tart cherries
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 package (8.8 ounces) ready-to-serve brown rice

Directions

  1. Cut tenderloin crosswise into 12 slices; sprinkle with rosemary, thyme and celery salt. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown pork on both sides; remove from pan.
  2. In same skillet, combine apple, apple juice, cherries, honey and vinegar. Bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 3-4 minutes or just until apple is tender.
  3. Return pork to pan, turning to coat with sauce; cook, covered, 3-4 minutes or until pork is tender. Meanwhile, prepare rice according to package directions; serve with pork mixture.

    I also used craisins with excellent results. Served mine with long grain and wild rice.

    very good! used cherry infused craisins instead of cherries (leftover from Christmas baking) and it was excellent.

    This was a good meal. Because I had apple juice left over from a juice box, I added the extra to the jasmine rice we prefer. The next time I prepare it I will try to end up with more sauce without sacrificing flavor.
