Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine salt and pepper in small bowl. Season pork with mixture. Add 2 tablespoons oil to heat-resistant skillet. Heat until oil begins to smoke. Carefully place pork in skillet. Brown on all sides. Place in oven. Cook 30 to 45 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F. While pork is cooking, heat remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in another skillet. Add shallots and garlic. Sauté about 1 minute. Add coarse black pepper and thyme. Cook 2 minutes. Add cranberries and grapes. Cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add Tassel Ridge Red, White, & Blue. Cook over medium-high heat until most of liquid has evaporated and remaining liquid has thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve. Remove pork from oven. Let rest about 10 minutes. Slice and serve with cranberry-grape reduction. Serves 3–5.
