Spiced Pork Medallions

Ingredients

• 2 pork tenderloins(about 3/4 lb. each)
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
• 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup red currant jelly
• 2/3 cup chicken broth

Directions

1. Trim any fat and sinew from pork tenderloins. Cut each tenderloin crosswise into 4 pieces. Between 2 sheets of waxed paper, place half of pork pieces cut side up. With meat mallet or rolling pin, pound each piece of pork into a 1/2-inch thick medallion. Repeat with remaining pork.

2. In medium bowl, mix salt, thyme, cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg, and cloves. Add pork medallions to spice mixture; toss to coat.

3. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Add pork medallions; cook 5 minutes per side or until they just lose their pink color throughout.

4. Remove pork to warm platter. Stir currant jelly into drippings in skillet until melted; stir in chicken broth and heat to boiling. Spoon sauce over pork. Makes 4 main-dish servings.
