Pork Tenderloin With Pomegranate Glaze Recipes

Transfer pork to a platter (reserve skillet), and tent with aluminum foil.
• Carefully return skillet to stove. Add pomegranate juice, molasses, and currants to skillet, and bring to a boil over medium-high. Cook until sauce is thickened to a glaze, 5 to 6 minutes. (To test: Coat the back of a spoon with sauce, and run your finger through it to make a line; the glaze is ready when the line doesn't fill in.) To serve, thinly slice pork, and drizzle with glaze.
