Recipe of the Month - October 2009
Cooking releases the natural juices in blackberries. Adding ginger, honey, and soy sauce gives this sauce a tangy yet sweet finish.
Pork Medallions with Blackberry Ginger Sauce
For moist and tender pork, cook until just barely pink in the center. Dry ginger can be substituted for fresh ginger, but will have a little less heat in contrast to the sweet honey and salty soy sauce.
