Ingredients

  • 2 thick pork fillets, about 750g
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 15 g butter
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 60 g dried cranberries
  • 1 cup wine, sweet fortified
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon cherry jam
  • lemon juice, squeeze of

Method

  • Trim any skin and fat from the pork fillets and cut the fillet into large pieces - about 8cm is ideal.
  • Don't worry if there are slightly smaller end pieces, you are seeking to end up with most pieces about the size of a small apple.
  • Season the pork pieces with cinnamon, salt and pepper.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan until foaming.
  • Add the pork pieces and saute them until brown, 3-5 minutes.
  • Turn them over, lower the heat and leave until browned on the outside and just cooked to your taste, 5-7 minutes.
  • Transfer flillet's to a plate and keep warm.
  • Discard all but a teaspoon of fat from the pan then add the dried cranberries, wine and stock and boil until reduced by half, stirring to dissolve the pan juices, for 10-12 minutes.
  • Add the cherry jam and lemon juice and stir until dissolved.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Add the pork pieces back to the sauce in the pan and reheat for a minute.
  • Arrange plates and spoon over the sauce.
  • Serve at once.
