Ingredients You Will Need

Cherry fruit spread: is similar to jam or preserves, made primarily from cherries. I like St. Dalfour as they are refined sugar free and loaded with pieces of fruit.

Fresh cherries: are small round, stone fruits that grow on trees and come in a variety of colors.

Extra virgin olive oil: stands out as an excellent choice for sautéing, adding richness and enhancing the natural flavors of foods. I love Garcia De La Cruz for my olive oil.

Shallot: are a type of onion that are a member of the allium family. Closely related to garlic, chives, and onions, they have a mild, savory flavor with garlic undertones that enhance cherry sauce for pairing with pork.

Chicken bone broth: is a type of stock, but unlike regular stock, bone broth is simmered longer extracting more collagen. I like Kettle and Fire for both broth and bone broth. You can use pennysprimal to save.

White wine vinegar: has a mild, fruity flavor and balanced sweet and sour taste. I love Olivelle for all of their vinegars. You can use pennysprimal to save.

Dried thyme: is a pungent herb that can withstand longer cooking times in stews and soups and adds a depth of flavor.

Garlic powder: is best for when you want a milder flavor that will incorporate easily.

Salt and black pepper: salt enhances the overall flavor of the dish and ground black pepper adds a gentle heat.

Adapt collagen: is a 100% grass fed collagen product that easily dissolves with no clumping and has zero taste. It is can be beneficial for your skin elasticity, joint comfort, mobility, and gut health. Try Adapt Naturals here.

Fresh parsley: brings a burst of fresh, herby goodness. This parsley complements the flavors of cherry sauce used for pork perfectly.
