Ingredients

2 Pork Tenderloins Trimmed, Silver Skin Removed
2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
To Taste Salt
To Taste Black Pepper
1 Tablespoons Butter
4 Pears Firm but Ripe, Peeled, Cored And Sliced Into 1/2 Inch Wedges
1 Teaspoon Sugar
1/2 Cup Shallots Finely Chopped
1 Teaspoon Dried Thyme
1/4 Cup Pear Schnapps
1 Cup Whipping Cream
1/3 Cup Pear Nectar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Make sure tenderloins are dry. Season both tenderloins generously with salt and pepper.
In a large ovenproof pan add vegetable oil. Brown tenderloins on high to medium-high heat on both sides. Place pan in preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt butter and add pears over medium heat. Sprinkle pears with sugar.
Saute pears until they are tender and deeply golden, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
Remove tenderloins to a platter and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Allow resting 10 minutes. Meanwhile, saute shallots and thyme in the pan that the tenderloins were cooked in, over medium heat until shallots are soft. Add pear schnapps; boil until reduced to a glaze, scraping up all the brown bits, about 1-2 minutes. Add cream and pear nectar; boil until thickened to a sauce consistency, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add pears to the sauce.
Slice pork and arrange on a platter. Pour pear sauce over pork and serve. YUM!!!
