PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CUMBERLAND SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tsp oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season pork lightly with salt and pepper and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until brown on the outside and no longer pink but still juicy inside.
• Transfer to plates or a platter and keep warm.
• Add remaining 1 tsp oil to the skillet.
• Add onions or shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds.
• Add wine and bring to a boil, stirring.
• Boil for 5 to 6 minutes, or until reduced to about 1/3 cup.
• Dissolve cornstarch in lemon juice and whisk into the sauce.
• Cook, stirring, until thickened and glossy.
• Remove from heat and stir in jelly, sugar and mustard.
• Taste and adjust seasonings with more salt and pepper, if needed.
• Spoon the sauce over the pork.
• Serves 2 with side dishes, and doubles easily.
• Note from Julie: I used black-currant jelly and the sauce was wonderful. I wouldn't describe it as sweet-and-sour - you'd have to taste it for yourself to know what I mean. But I used this recipe the first time I ever cooked pork tenderloin and it's become a recipe I use again and again as a favorite!
