Cardamom and Cocoa Pork Tenderloin in Cabernet Reduction

















The meat:

1 Pork Tenderloin
1 TB Kosher salt (Sea salt works too)
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cocoa

The sauce:

1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon - unsweetened grape juice, or "Fre" will work if you would like an alcohol free version. If you do go the alcohol free route, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to lower the PH of the sauce.

1 minced shallot

1/4 cup diced cherries - you can use any dark colored fruit such as boysenberries, raspberries, blueberries (my personal favorite) or cranberries. Frozen works.

1/4 teaspoon minced chipotle in adobo sauce (if this isn't available add 1/8 teaspoon dry chipotle powder
1 Tablespoon of butter, Ground Peppercorn to taste
