Cooking Tips

• Make sure to let the dried cherries soak in the wine and broth to rehydrate and infuse them with flavor.
• Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the pork reaches the correct internal temperature for safe consumption.
• Letting the pork rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover pork tenderloin can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the sliced pork in a microwave-safe dish and heat in short intervals, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
• Serve the pork tenderloin with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.
