Spiced Pork With Bourbon Reduction Sauce
I got this out of the Cooking Light magazine, dated April 2006.
Substitute chicken broth for bourbon, if you prefer. Serve with Couscous or rice.
SAUCE:
1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup low-sodium soy cause
3 TBS. cider vinegar
1-1/2 tsp. bottled minced garlic
1/2 tsp. black pepper
PORK:
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground allspice
1/8 tsp. salt
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
Cooking spray
1. To prepare sauce, combine the first 6 ingredients in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook until reduced to about 1/2 cup (About 11 minutes), stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
2. To prepare pork, combine chili powder, cinnamon, allspice, and salt, stirring well; rub evenly over pork. Cut pork crosswise into 12 slices.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan, cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with sauce.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 pork slices and 2 TBS sauce).

I cooked the pork loin out on the grill instead of the stove. It was wonderful. A definite "Keeper".
