Hi Nancy........

Here are three of my favorite recipes for pork tenderloin. Adjust amounts depending on number of servings desired.
Hope you enjoy. Roz Kay

Pork with Orange Sauce
1 pork tenderloin, sliced crosswise into 6 medallions
2 Tbsps. Worcestershire sauce
1-1/2 Tbsps. seasoned flour
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp. oil
1 Tbsp. butter
*1 orange, peeled and sliced
*3/4 cup orange juice
*1 tsp. dry mustard
*corn starch for thickening if necessary

Dust steaks with seasoned flour. Saute in oil and butter for approximately 8 minutes. Remove from pan and keep warm. Drain excess fat from pan. *Add juice, mustard, sauce and garlic to pan and simmer for 3 minutes. Add slices of orange (or just pulp) and reheat with pork.

NOTE: Before adding pork to sauce when reheating, add corn starch if necessary.

Roast Pork Tenderloin in Horseradish Crust
1 cup fresh bread crumbs (about 2 slices)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons drained bottled horseradish, or to taste
1 1-pound piece boneless pork tenderloin
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. In a heavy skillet cook bread crumbs in 1 tablespoon oil with salt and pepper to taste over moderate heat, stirring, until golden brown. Transfer bread crumbs to a bowl and toss well with horseradish.

Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet heat remaining tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown pork on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer pork to a shallow baking pan.

In a small bowl, mix mustard and mayonnaise. Coat top and sides evenly with mixture. Press bread crumb mixture evenly onto mustard and roast pork in middle of oven until a meat thermometer inserted in center registers 145 degrees for slightly pink meat (if bread crumbs begin to get too browned arrange a sheet of foil loosely over pork), 25 to 30 minutes.

Transfer pork to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Cut pork into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

Roasted BBQ Tenderloins
3 Tbsps. barbecue sauce
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 pork tenderloins (about 1-1/2 lbs. total)

*** Preheat oven to 350.
Combine barbecue sauce, soy sauce, water, garlic and red pepper flakes in small bowl.
Brush one-fourth of mixture evenly over each tenderloin. Place roasts in shallow foil-lined roasting pan (use a rack if available). Cook 15 minutes; turn and brush with remaining barbecue sauce mixture. Continue to cook until internal temperature reaches 165F. Transfer roast to cutting board; cover with foil. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before carving. Brush mixture over tenderloins, pouring remainder over; let stand approx. 1/2 hour.

*** Optional method (perfect for make-ahead)
On high heat, brown pork on all sides in skillet. Add a little water to skillet; cover. Cook at medium-high until temperature reaches 165. Allow tenderloins to rest before carving.
In the meantime, add more BBQ sauce to whatever liquid is left in pan. If desired, add more soy sauce and/or Worcestershire to cut sweetness of sauce. After slicing, place slices in sauce. At this point, meat may be refrigerated and reheated.


Nancy, it is so great to read the newsletters. I am so far behind in reading the newsletters that it will take this week to get caught up. The request that I have is does anyone know if there is a web site or a book that I can purchase with the carbohydrate count of many of the foods? Would appreciate any and/or answers. Must get
started in the newsletters. Everyone have a great day.

1 lb. ground beef, browned
1 can tomato soup
1 can vegetable beef soup
1 1/2 c. water
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 carrots, thinly sliced
5 med. potatoes, peeled & chunked or slice; d
1/2 lg. onion, diced
1/2 tsp. chili powder
salt to taste
dash of garlic powder & pepper

Combine all ingredients in crock pot. Cook until vegetables are tender, (usually 6 hours). Can be cooked on stove top. Cooking time will be considerably shorter.

If you have a rotisserie (such as Ronco, George Forman, etc) a delicious way to fix the pork tenderloin in one piece is: The day before using, I put a 4 lb piece of pork tenderloin in a plastic bag with the juice from a can of pineapple pieces and turned in several times the day before cooking. The flavor was mild and the tenderloin was absolutely wonderful.

Served this with rice and green beans for a side dish. Oriental vegetables with the rice would even be better. You really can't ruin this one!
Joan


Oh, what a dream when they go off to college and the roomate(s) convince them to change their opinions.  Use the apple juice to make a sauce for pork, or chicken, or use it to marinate the same.

Hi, Thanks to all who sent the Company Cheesecake recipe for my son's birthday. I made two, and they both disappeared! Great new format, Nancy. Thanks for the hard work.

Hi,
I'm looking for a recipe for chicken and noodles. It tastes almost like chicken and dumplings. Can anyone help me with this recipe?
Tena


Popcorn - pop enough to fill a bread wrapper or about 4 quarts

1/2 lb brown sugar (about 1 cup packed tight) - use dark brown sugar for a strong flavored corn kinda like Cracker Jacks

Caramel Corn
1 stick butter
1/4 cup Karo syrup - again you can adjust your flavor by using the light or the dark syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda 'cause you really need to use it at the end of the cooking process or the syrup will be 'flat' and won't crisp up

Optional - 1/2 cup mixed nuts, or cashews, or pecans, or peanuts, or even macadamia nuts

Pour the popped corn into that great big huge mixing bowl. Put your metal spoon close by!

If you're going to bake the corn, then preheat your oven to 200-225 deg.

In the big cooking pan toss in the salt, butter, Karo syrup, and brown sugar. Turn the burner to medium-high. Stirring constantly with that long handled wooden spoon, boil the syrup for about 5 minutes. Don't over cook it or it will taste burnt.

While stirring, carefully add the vanilla. When you add the vanilla the hot syrup will want to explode so I just add a little bit at a time.

As soon as the vanilla is added, add the baking soda. Keep stirring - rapidly - but carefully - see my note again. This is the magic part that I think is cool. When the baking soda is added, it will instantly caramelize the syrup and really puff it up!

Pour the syrup over the popped corn in the big mixing bowl. Mix and toss the whole shebang together until every last corn is covered. Do this quickly and while the syrup is still hot

Now's the time to toss in those nuts if you've got 'em, while the syrup is still warm and sticky.

Gently spread the corn out onto the cookie sheets. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Immediately toss the corn to break it up when it comes out of the oven and again every few minutes while cooling. If you don't you'll end up with a baked corn brick.

Famous Roast Garlic Crab
I don't think I've ever made a simpler or more successful dish. As long as we can get fresh Dungeness crabs, this dish is on the menu. Stone crabs, spider crabs, blue crabs, or lobsters can all be substituted for Dungeness in this recipe.

Peel and mince the garlic cloves, to yield about 2 tablespoons-
Preheat the oven to 500?F. Heat the butter, olive oil, and garlic in a very large ovenproof saut?pan over medium-high heat until hot. (You may need 2 pans.) Add the crab, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss well. Transfer to the oven and roast until the garlic turns light brown and the crab is heated through, about 12 minutes. Toss once halfway through.

Pour the contents of the pan into a large warm serving bowl, add the lemon juice and the parsley, and toss well. Serve pronto with plenty of napkins!

TOMATO CATSUP
This is a real good old time recipe. 3 c. sugar 1/4 c. salt (Equals 4 tbsp.) 2 tsp. black pepper 1 tsp. ground ginger 1 tsp. ground cloves 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper a pinch 1 qt. of cider vinegar

Peel, quarter, and boil tomatoes until soft. Put the stewed tomatoes through a food mill, and then through a strainer. To the resulting juice, add all the other above items.

Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and allow to simmer about 2 hours, and reducing the volume by about 50%. This recipe will yield about 6 to 7 pints.

The final consistency of this recipe will be determined by the type of tomatoes used, and the length of time the mixture is allowed to simmer. Be your own judge, remembering that the ketchup (or catsup) will be more fluid when hot than it will be when cold. Allow to cool, then FREEZE.


TOMATO CATSUP
1 peck ripe tomatoes
1 sm. clove garlic
1 1/2 bay leaf
1 tbsp. whole allspice
1 tsp. cayenne
1/2 c. sugar
5 onions, sliced
2 red pepper, seeded
1 tbsp. pickling salt
1 tbsp. celery seed
2 inches stick cinnamon
2 c. vinegar
Boil tomatoes, garlic, onions, red peppers, bay leaves and salt until soft. Strain through sieve. Add spices (tied in a cloth bag) and sugar to tomato mixture and boil rapidly, stirring occasionally until thick or quantity is reduced one-half. Remove spices, add vinegar and boil 10 minutes longer. Pour into sterile jars and seal. Makes about six quarts. This catsup makes marvelous barbecue sauce.


MOM'S RIPE TOMATO CATSUP
18 ripe tomatoes
3 lg. sweet peppers
6 onions
2 tsp. salt
2 c. sugar
2 1/2 c. vinegar
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. cloves

Chop tomatoes, peppers and onions and add spices, salt, vinegar and sugar. Cook until thick. Seal while hot in pint jars.

I just had to tell you that I went to the Prepared Pantry site at 3 this morning and what a wonderful site. Did you notice the back issues of the newsletters? Already have read quite a few of them. This is a site that I have put as a favorite. So many things to see and read. Thanks for putting it in your newsletter. You are the best. Love your Siggy stories.

Nancy, in the last week or so, I wrote and asked for the Pot Pie Soup recipe that had been posted. I never saw you post the request. I have tried finding it under soups and pot pies and can not locate it. If some one could advise me of the location of this recipe I would appreciate it.
Thank you, Lou, Fl.

Comment
The reason you can't find it is because it is in a newsletter not the soups or pot pies.
Nancy


Please help out, Nancy! On Nancy's Kitchen website, want to make the above, but nobody entered oven directions! At what temp and for how long, please? Looks like a wonderful recipe; we all love sweet potatoes and I thought, what a great one for guests this weekend.
Thank you, R.Weiss

Thank you to Hubba from Nebraska for the Rub Cake recipe, I'm going to try this recipe next week and see if it's the same one he remembers.
Sunshine SuzyQ


I have not used an Apple emac either. But can the person using it just copy the recipe wanted and paste to a simple word document. Then you could print the recipe from there.

It may be that your printer does not have the print selection option. Hope this helps. Jean


This is for Margaret who uses a Mac, as do I. You CAN'T highlight and control P for print. You have to copy the recipe first and then go to Mail, and then write mail. Control V will put the recipe in the body of the mail. Then you can control p to print. Keep in mind that Mac users are in the minority so the instructions you will find will always be for a PC and their instructions are not always compatible for us.

Hi Nancy,
These are 2 of our favorite Pork Tenderloin recipes. Very easy and delicious.
Enjoy, Penny

Pork Tenderloin #1
1/4 cup honey
2 Tablespoons Oriental Hoisin Sauce
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon minced garlic

Mix marinade in 1 gallon zipper type food storage bag.
Add tenderloin to marinade, seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Heat oven to 400. Roast 20 minutes or until meat is barely pink in center. (a meat thermometer should register 160). Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. We also cook this on the grill for 20 minutes. We prefer to grill.

Pork Tenderloin #2
1 pound pork tenderloin
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1 Tablespoon peeled, grated gingerroot
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 cloves garlic, crushed

Cook 30 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 160, turning pork occasionally and basting with reserved marinade.

Don from Mich.


Hello Nancy,
I was just wandering what meat you would us the Coca Cola recipe with? It really sounds intriguing.
Thanks, Lisa Green

Comment
In your message you did not mention BBQ Coca Cola recipe. Hopefully that is what you are wanting. It works well with pork and beef.
Nancy


Hi Nancy, for those asking about the stone cookware: I use mine all the time for just about everything. One thing I wanted to point out, someone said that it takes longer to cook in them. It won't if while preheating the oven you also pre heat the pan.
Love your newsletter and site! Many thanks for your hard work!

Hi Nancy,
I wanted to reply back to Agatha's request for the Pork Tenderloin recipe. I buy a 2-3 lb. size pork tenderloin and use the Bag 'n Season by McCormick (a roasting bag & seasoning blend) made for the Pork Tenderloin. I believe you will find it in your grocery aisle with the bread crumbs or the spice aisle. Otherwise you can ask someone in your grocery store, if they sell the Bag 'n Season by McCormick. I buy it all the time at my grocery store. The seasoning blend is spicy, if you like a spicy taste. I hope this helps you out.

This is for Bobby/Chicago,

I made a dish called Hobo Stew that sounds like what she wants.

I put a layer of potatoes. A layer of onions. A layer is sliced carrots.

A layer of hamburger patties. Then do a second layer, or third if you wish.

Then cover with water, just barley to the top. Cook until meat is done, on top of the stove with medium heat. You may want to season each layer also. I made this a lot when my 9 children were growing up, now I made myself hungry for some.

Hi Nancy,
This is in response to Delaine in GA about the buttermilk or sour milk. This was discussed in one of your earlier newsletters. Just put 1 Tbl. white vinegar or lemon juice in a 1 c. measuring cup, then add milk. Let this sit a little while to work. In about 10 minutes you have buttermilk! I do this all the time, as we don't use buttermilk a lot either.

Thank you Marlene


I have always used the "font color="#800000">cheap sugars" and I've never had a problem with anything I've used it in. I never pay over 1 dollar for a 4 pound bag. I have a 30 gallon garbage can (a new one just for sugar) that I keep all my bags of sugar in. never had a problem with any of it.

Dear Nancy, I don't write to you much, and only occasionally send recipes, but please let me say that at last all your changes have hit the right mark ! It will be so very easy to print the recipes that take my fancy, and I commend you on this new set-up !

Over the summer Almond Joy came in a Limited Edition Tropical Version of their candy bar - with a hint of pineapple and white Chocolate. Does anyone have a recipe for the Almond Joy Cake or Cups for this new version?

Hi Nancy, Thanks for all your hard work! I enjoy the newsletter very much. I am looking for a recipe for smothered chicken. I had it at Piccadilly Rest. in Jacksonville, FL. I think the chicken was fried first then baked in a cream sauce. It was So good.
