Mom’s Maple Glaze

I don’t know what it is about the holidays that brings back every sweet, distant memory of my mother’s cooking. I guess because it was always delicious, well almost always delicious. It always came with a house full of people with love,warm conversation and maybe the odd heated political debate.There were always a bunch of kids, 7 of us to be exact.( I was only related to one of them, but that never mattered, we were all family. ) We were always together, we didn’t need much for an excuse. It could be anything; a football game, a soccer game, a snow day, a Friday night, a Sunday afternoon. Pretty often, you would find Mom’s maple-glazed pork tenderloin in the middle of the table. It was always a crowd pleaser. It was sweet enough for the kids and sophisticated enough for the adults. It was quick, easy, and pretty darn delicious, too.

When I called Mom for the recipe, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the sauce can not only be made ahead, but will keep for about a week in the fridge. So you can use the sauce all week on chicken, pork chops, even salmon. I’m sure you will find this recipe as useful and delicious as my Mom has, even if you don’t have a houseful of people.

Combine in saucepan, bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. It will thicken slightly.

Mom's Maple Glaze

My mother's tried and true maple glaze graced many a table in my youth. It's still one of my favorite things to put on a pork tenderloin. You'll use about half of this for one dinner (or two pork tenderloins). The rest will keep in the fridge for a couple weeks.
