Pomegranate Jalapeno Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Remove the pork roast from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the rack on the lower middle section of the oven.
• Place the carrot halves on the bottom of a small roasting pan and set aside.
• Trim off any thick areas of fat from the roast. Make shallow slits about 1 inch apart in a crosshatch on the meat of the roast. Mix together the cinnamon, cloves and 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the roast and rub to coat. Place the roast on the carrots and add 1/2 cup water to the pan. Roast for 1 hour, adding another 1/2 cup water if the pan gets dry.
• Meanwhile, combine the pomegranate juice and thyme in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and reduce by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in the maple syrup and mustard and continue to reduce until slightly thickened, another 3 to 4 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remove and discard the thyme.
• Baste the meat with the pomegranate mixture and roast until the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees F, another 30 minutes. Remove the roast from the oven and turn the oven up to 450 degrees F.
• Baste the roast again with the pomegranate mixture. Return the roast to the hot oven for an additional 20 minutes, basting with the pomegranate sauce every 5 to 10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F and the roast is evenly glazed. Remove the roast to a platter to rest for 10 minutes. Add any juices from the pan to the sauce and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir to combine. Slice the roast and serve with the sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Stir together cinnamon, salt, coriander, cumin and pepper in a shallow bowl. Pat tenderloins dry and dredge in spice mixture until evenly coated.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Reduce heat to medium and cook pork, turning occasionally, until meat is browned on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into center of each tenderloin registers 145 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer pork with tongs to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour off and discard any fat from skillet, then add pomegranate juice and boil over medium-high heat until reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 3 minutes (if side of skillet begins to scorch, reduce heat to medium). Stir together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water and whisk into juice, then boil sauce until thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add vinegar to taste. Swirl in butter until incorporated. Pour sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and skim off any fat. Season with salt. Slice pork and serve with sauce.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the jelly and juices to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk in the remaining ingredients and simmer until reduced to about 1 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes.
• If using with ham, drizzle about half over the ham, cover and roast until about 30 minutes from finishing. Drizzle with remaining glaze and finish roasting.

Steps:

• Place the orange juice, brandy, and honey in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to a simmer, add vinegar, and cook for 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut pomegranates in half. Hold pomegranate halves over a large bowl and beat each one with the back of a wooden spoon to release seeds and juices. Place 2/3 pomegranate seeds and any accumulated juices, thyme, and chicken stock in the jar of a blender; blend for 10 seconds. Strain pomegranate mixture through a fine sieve into saucepan.
• Return glaze to a simmer. Stir in butter. Spoon over duck and garnish with remaining pomegranate seeds.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, simmer juice & sugar until reduced to 1.5c, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk in mustard. Whisk in butter until melted & smoooooth.
• Stir in optional pomegranate seeds.
