Notes
Substitutions and Ingredient Notes
Garlic - Cloves or minced.
Apple Cider Vinegar - You can substitute champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar if needed.
Honey - Substitute agave.
Oil - Canola or olive oil.
Pork Tenderloin - You can cut them into 1" medallions at home or ask your butcher.
Tips and Variations
Keep this pork recipe a little lower sugar by substituting the honey with agave or simply eliminating altogether.
Instead of medallions, this apple cider glaze is also beautiful when drizzled over a full pork tenderloin if you're cooking for a crowd.
Using a meat thermometer (internal temp 145) check the temperature. Pork will be a faint pink inside when cooked appropriately.
Make the glaze ahead of time! This saves you a little time and makes this dinner perfect for prepping ahead.
To Store
Refrigerate - Store cooked pork medallions for up to three days, refrigerated in a sealed container.
Freeze - Yes, you can freeze your cooked pork medallions. Store it in a tightly sealed bag for up to three months for best quality.
