MARCI'S GINGER ALE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• Sprinkle ground ginger all over the pork chops.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet, and brown the chops over medium-high heat, 2-3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the chops to an oven-proof baking dish.
• Add the ginger ale, fresh ginger, and crystallized ginger to the skillet, and cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Pour this over the chops, put it in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle the walnuts and raisins over the chops and bake an additional 15 minutes.
• Transfer the chops to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Add the cream to the baking pan and place it over high heat.
• Cook, scraping up the brown bits, until the sauce is reduced and thickened, about 2 minutes.

• ENJOY!

GINGER-ALE MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a large non-reactive baking dish, place the pork loin.
• In a medium bowl, combine the ginger ale, soy sauce, 1/2 cup of the juice and all the vanilla, honey, ginger, the onion, garlic, cardamom, and red pepper flakes. Pour over the pork, cover tightly and refrigerate 12 to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the meat from the marinade and reserve. Pat the roast dry with kitchen towels, season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and place in a roasting pan. Cook uncovered until an instant-read thermometer registers an internal temperature of 155 degrees F, about 1 hour.
• Remove the roast from the oven and place on a platter. Tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
• Meanwhile, pour any remaining marinade into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook at a brisk simmer for 5 minutes. Place the roasting pan over 2 burners over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1/2 cup sherry and cook, stirring to deglaze the pan. Pour the juices into the saucepan with the remaining marinade. Add the chicken stock and cook until reduced by almost half. Whisk in the butter and remove from the heat. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Strain into a sauceboat or decorative bowl.
