Candied Pork Tender Tips

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.



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..

Picture perfect for sure!!! Very nice.

Great color and shine Squirt

I flipped down the page (too quickly I might add) and saw your plated food first. I thought that was some glazed chicken. When I went back up the page I saw what it rteally was. I need to try that one. I like it.

That looks delicious with a perfect glaze!

nice job Squirt! SHiny like a new cadillac

Thanks all. These are fun to cook. Cheap & tasty eats. (we're all about cheap & tasty these days)

The glaze is..

1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, 4-5 glugs of Balsamic vinegar (roughly 1/8th of a cup?), and then stir in an equal amount of Blues Hog. I parked it on the lid of the MAK to warm it up before applying the 'paint job'.

I need to order some of the good Balsamic. This was just some stuff that happened to be on sale up the street.

Awesome!
I saw those at schnuks last week and passed on them. My bad! Won't pass em up again.

Looking good STC!!!!!!!!!!!!

If PDG is what I think it means I'd say it sure LPDG

That might be the prettiest glaze I have seen for a long time. If it tasted as good as it looked it must have been a good feed.

Fantastic cook Squirt! You never disappoint
