PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROSEMARY APRICOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF. Combine salt, coriander and black pepper. Rub all over tenderloin and let sit for a few minutes.
• Heat oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add tenderloin and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 8 minutes total. Add shallots and stir to coat with any oil in the pan. Transfer pan to the oven and cook until the internal temperature of the pork is 130ºF. Remove from oven, being careful of the hot pan handle. Transfer tenderloin to a cutting board and tent with foil.
• Meanwhile over medium heat, add the chicken broth, apricot jam and rosemary to the shallots. Simmer until shallots are soft and mixture is saucy, 4 to 6 minutes. Slice tenderloin and serve with sauce. Garnish with rosemary if desired.

ROSEMARY AND APRICOT FRENCH LOAF

Steps:

• Place water, olive oil, and salt into one side of a bread machine. Place 1/3 of the apricots on top of this fluid mixture with 2 cups of flour. Place more apricots in the middle of the flour, pour remaining flour on top, followed by remaining apricots. This will help weaker bread machines integrate the apricots.
• Run French loaf cycle for a 2-pound loaf. Remove from the machine after the cycle is done, about 3 1/2 hours.

APRICOT ROSEMARY GIN FIZZ

Steps:

• Discard pits from apricots and cut the apricots into smaller pieces, 8 ish. No need to peel them. Roughly chop rosemary.
• Add sugar and water to a medium saucepan, give it a stir. Add in the rest of the ingredients and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stir occasionally and press the apricots into the syrup.
• Once done, remove from heat and strain the mixture, pressing the apricots gently into the sieve.
• Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Once cool, add into clean glass bottles and store in the fridge for 1 month.
• Add all ingredients to a shaker and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Add ice and shake a little more.
• Run a rosemary sprig around the edges of a whiskey or Tom Collins glass. Strain the drink into the glass.

SHERRY ROSEMARY APRICOT JAM

Steps:

• Wash 2 pint jars (or a few half-pint jars) so that they are ready to go when your preserves are ready to be canned.
• Add the apricots to the boiling water in a bowl along with 1/2 cup sherry and the rosemary sprigs. Let soak until the apricots are rehydrated, about 30 minutes. Strain the apricots, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid. Add the apricots, reserved liquid and lemon zest to a large non-reactive pan. Stir in the pectin.
• Bring the mixture to a boil and add the sugar, lemon juice, chopped rosemary and remaining 1/4 cup sherry. Boil until the sugar is dissolved and the jam is thick (you can check by spooning the jam onto the back of a wooden spoon; if you can run your finger through it without it spreading, it is good!) for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer the cooked jam to the jars. Let the jam cool to room temperature. Serve right away, or keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

ROSEMARY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, panko, egg, garlic, rosemary, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix just until combined (do not overmix). Using a level 1/4-cup measure for each, form mixture into 12 meatballs. Note: Use a 1/4-cup measure per meatball to ensure uniform size. For easy cleanup, place on a sheet of parchment or waxed paper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium-high. Add meatballs; cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Tilt skillet away from you, and pour in tomato sauce. Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high; reduce heat to medium. Cover, and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve meatballs and sauce, garnished with more rosemary, if desired.
