Candied Pork Tender Tips
« Reply #-1 on: June 18, 2012, 08:19:08 AM »

I see these at the store every now and then, usually mixed in with frozen packages of rib tips.  They are the odds and ends from those $$ pork tenderloins you see from Hormel, etc.    I found a bunch for 1.99/lb, so I bought them all.   ;D



Rubbed down with Annie's Garlic EVOO and some Oak Ridge BBQ poultry rub.

Line 'em up..



MAK is cruising along at 250°.  These don't take long to cook at all.


As they approached 130° or so, I mixed up a Balsamic Blues Hog glaze.




Time for the 'candy' stage.




Bump the heat up so we start to sizzle a bit.




To quote Sparky - "Wa La.."




Plated with some green stuff.



PDG.   

That was the last package from the freezer, so I need to keep an eye out for more..

Mighty fine lookin' chow, catsquirter!  Please tell me about your Blues Hog/Balsamic mix.  What is the ratio?  I've "cut" BH with some Carolina style vinegar-based sauce with good results but balsamic sounds interesting, too.

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 4-5 'glugs' of Balsamic vinegar (1/8th of a cup, perhaps?) and then an equal amount of Blues Hog.  I put it on the lid of the MAK so it warms up before I paint it on.

The Balsamic gives it a little extra 'twang'..
