Pork loin with honey and caramelized fruit

HOW TO MAKE PORK LOIN WITH HONEY AND CARAMELIZED FRUIT

Step 1: Season the meat with salt, pepper, unpeeled crushed garlic and white wine. Let marinate about one hour.

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).

Step 3: Place the pork loin in a baking pan with the marinade. Drizzle with olive oil and water and bake for about one hour. Occasionally drizzle the meat with the sauce.

Step 4: Meanwhile, wash and peel the fruit. Place the fruit cut into pieces together with the honey (two tablespoons honey), sugar and the cinnamon in a non-stick skillet over low heat for about 30 minutes until caramelize, stirring occasionally.

Step 5: In another skillet, place the honey (two tablespoons honey), pepper and the Dijon mustard. Stir, bring to a boil over low heat for about two to three minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6: Remove from oven and serve the meat drizzled with the honey sauce and the caramelized fruit.

TIPS FOR PORK LOIN WITH HONEY AND CARAMELIZED FRUIT

1. If the loin starts to brown too much cover with aluminum foil.

2. We usually bake the loin at 180ºC (350ºF) but, if you lower the temperature to 150ºC (300ºF), despite taking longer to bake, it has the advantage of enhancing the flavors much more and the meat gets more tender.

3. If you have leftovers, store the meat in the fridge in a properly covered container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms). To avoid drying out the meat, do not reheat the food in the oven, reheat it in the microwave.
