Get a pork tenderloin and slice it 1 inch thick. Pound each piece thin, then sautee them in a skillet with 2 tablespoonfuls of real butter. Remove when browned. Add a minced shallot and sautee for about 30 seconds. Add a 16 oz can of chicken stock and a tablespoonful dijon mustard. Reduce by 1/3. Add 3 tablespoons each maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Reduce by half. Add pork to skillet and reduce till liquid thickens to a sauce.


Serve it up!

The nice thing about aunt jamima is that it always tastes the same. Pure maple is sometimes good, sometimes bitter, never consistant. I hate it when it's bitter.

:puke;

I just bought some cheap real maple syrup and it sucks. But yeah, the good stuff is awesome.

It rocks on everything. Due to cost, one should moderate its use, but...mmmmmmm

Real maple syrup comes from Canada; mostly Quebec and Ontario. Try #2 medium if you like it sweet and thick.
