Pork Tenderloin With Cherry-Rosemary Marmalade
- 1 pork tenderloin (about 2 lb)
- 1 1/2 tsps kosher salt
- 1 freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 small shallots, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tsps finely chopped rosemary
- salt and pepper, to taste
Tasting notes: Pork and Pinot Noir are a classic pairing and the addition of the cherry marmalade heightens the dark fruit elements in the Choate Vineyard Pinot.
Serena's tip: Quarter the cherriesand reduce the rosemary to half a teaspoon especially if you are pulling the rosemary right from your garden.

- PORK
- Heat a gas or charcoal grill to about 375ºF. If using a broiler, preheat to 525ºF and preheat a baking sheet or broiler pan.
- Rinse pork tenderloin and pat dry. In a small bowl, stir together salt, pepper, parsley, and garlic. Rub spice mixture on pork tenderloin, covering it completely, and set aside.
- When grill is ready, place tenderloin in the center and close lid. Roast for 12-15 minutes, turning about every 3 minutes, until tenderloin is nicely browned and reaches an internal temperarture of 160ºF. If broiling, place tenderloin on preheated baking sheet, 3-4 in from flame, and roast for 10 minutes per side.
- Allow pork to rest for 10 minutes, then carve and serve with Cherry-Rosemary Marmalade.
- MARMALADE
- In a large frying pan on medium, heat olive oil until sizzling, then add shallots and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened. Increase heat to high and add wine, stirring well, until reduced by half. Stir in cherries and broth, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until cherries have softened and mixture takes on a glossy appearance. Stir in chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Let cool slightly before serving. Can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
- Makes 8-12 appetizer servings of pork, and 1 cup of the cherry-rosemary marmalade.
