Claire Robinson did her version on Food Network. I saw a rerun recently and thought it sounded tasty. Reading through Claire's recipe I knew I had to make some changes for this group. The boys don't do spicy and I don't do pectin. We were out of oranges and the loin Athena bought was over three pounds. The grandkids seem to think I'm an Iron Chef.
Blueberry Sauce:
In a large saucepan (3-4 quart) over medium heat combine:
1/3 cup Maple syrup
2 cups Frozen Blueberries
2 peeled and seeded Tangerines, split into segments (clean all the pith off!)
2 tablespoons Stone ground mustard (with horseradish)
Simmer for an hour or more until reduced by half more or less
Roast Pork:
Spray rack of broiler pan with cooking spray for easier clean up and non-stick cooking.
Trim any excess (more than 1/4 inch) fat and silver skin from pork loin Remove that plastic popup meat timer!
Rub entire surface of meat with about 1 of Dijon mustard, sprinkle with salt, and dust with fresh ground black pepper. (this can be done on broiler pan)
Broil on HI for 5 - 6 minutes (watch it carefully) with the meat about 6 inches from the heat source. Flip it and broil the other side for 5 - 6 minutes. Both sides should be beautifully brown.
Reduce oven temp to 350 F and insert meat thermometer. Bake until internal temperature reaches 165 F. Remove from oven, cover and let rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice and serve with Blueberry Sauce.
I have a grandson who hates mustard and he ate thirds of the blueberry sauce. I served this with a couscous pilaf that was more pilaf than couscous -- lots of veggies. I want to try the sauce on chicken and turkey.
