Submitted by: admin on April 2, 2020

Makes 1-1⁄3 Cups, Enough For 1 Recipe Thick-Cut Pork Tenderloin Medallions

Ingredients

1-1⁄2 cups apple cider
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 cinnamon stick
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
2 large shallots, minced
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and diced small
1⁄4 cup Calvados or apple-flavored brandy
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine cider, broth, vinegar, and cinnamon stick in medium saucepan; simmer over medium-high heat until liquid is reduced to 1 cup, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and discard. Set sauce aside until pork is cooked.
  2. Pour off any fat from skillet in which pork was cooked. Add 1 tablespoon butter and melt over medium heat. Add shallots and apple and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and add Calvados. Return skillet to heat and cook about 1 minute, scraping bottom of skillet with wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add reduced cider mixture, any accumulated pork juices, and thyme; increase heat to medium-high and simmer until thickened and reduced to 1-1⁄4 cups, 3 to 4 minutes. Off heat, whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over pork and serve.
