Pork Tenderloin with Peach Compote
This is a great pork tenderloin with the most delicious peach and almond compote flavored with vermouth. The photo of this dish doesn’t do it justice. It is surprisingly good. I adapted this recipe after seeing it on the Today Show. The Scotto family shared this and two other scrumptious peach recipes perfect for summer. You can find the two other recipes at the link above. One was a warm pasta salad with peaches, heirloom tomatoes and mozzarella and the other was a blueberry peach cobbler with Prosecco vanilla zabaglione. The marinade for the pork was very easy to put together. I put the spices in a mortar and pestle first to help release some of the flavors. You can definitely skip this step if you don’t have a mortar and pestle though. Be careful not to marinate the meat for too long, the vinegar will start to cook the pork. In the original recipe, it said to cook the pork loin in the skillet only, but my pork was already seared, and the internal temperature was not where it should be, so I finished it in the oven. While it was cooking, I made the peach compote. For the potatoes pictured, I just used olive oil and some of same spices (thyme, rosemary, sage leaves, salt and pepper) that were used in the marinade. I then roasted them at 500 degrees until crispy.

Preheat a medium skillet. Drizzle with olive oil and add almonds. Saute until lightly browned. Add peaches, sugar, lemon juice, pepper and 1 cup water.

Love the recipe! Fruit and Pork goes wonderfully together!
This sounds delicious! My Aunt always makes a recipe for apricot pork that is just to die for but I never seem to be able to get it just right. So I think its time to move on new Pork Roast Recipes and I think this one just might be a great place to start. I work with Better Recipes so I see pork recipes all the time but I am partial to fruit glazes on pork and I think this peach glaze sounds great!

Although I have made many fruit salsas, the almonds add a new twist and crunch. If you have read my blog at all you will discover I am a crunch fanatic! I didn’t see this on the Today show, but your post covered all I need to know, to make this dish! Thanks.
Peaches and pork sound perfect together…just the thought of it is making me hungry. I think the addition of almonds to the compote is genius. Thank you for sharing!

Even though you use summer peaches in this sauce…this pork still makes me crave the Fall. This recipe looks just so gorgeous and tasty.
The combination of sweet and savory is always very pleasant (at least for me) excellent pork dish and very good looking
Cheers,

This looks sooooooo good – the flavors look so good.
What a beautiful compote! I love that you slipped some vermouth into it – nice.
Your photo does do it justice. Looks so tasty …pork tenderloin with peaches, sounds perfect with a sense of sweet and salty. The marinade uses so many great spices with the garlic.

I love peach and pork together! I make a peach glazed pork chop that is so good, and this dish sounds delicious too:)
Not a big fan of cooked fruit but the marinade for the tenderloin looks tasty >>>> Pork Tenderloin with Peach Compote http://su.pr/2zKsiO
This looks simply stunning, Angie, and I can almost taste the combination of sweet, tart, fruity, savory, and crunchy almond flavors now. What a perfect approach to a late summer season dinner!

I know this is a fairly old blog post but I had to comment because this looks amazing! I’m gonna favourite it and see if I can give it a go in the future!

Your photography is unreal. That said, I love peaches, apricots or tart apples with pork. Apples might even be a little cliche but they all work so well especially when you throw in some sage. Sage always makes me “think” Autumn for some reason…Family meals, company, holidays. I love sage.
Cheers!

I made this for dinner tonight and my mom and I both love it! We didn’t have some of the ingredients so I made some substitutions. We had no sage, so I added more rosemary and thyme, and I used a tiny bit of anise seed in lieu of fennel seed. And instead of vermouth I used sherry cooking wine, and didn’t add as much salt to the pork marinade. It was delicious! It’s definitely one of our favorite dinners now.
