This is a recipe I've made for the last 15 years that came to me via my cousin Angie through her Electric Company that put out a cookbook each year when she lived in New Mexico. Of course I tweaked it a bit to suit my tastes, but it is very good and simple, and a welcome change of pace from the ordinary pork recipes. You may have made it before too, but it might be time to try it again.
2 lbs. boneless pork, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1/2 pkg. taco seasoning
2 T. vege oil
1 jar (16 oz.) chunky style picante sauce
2/3 cup apricot preserves
Rice
Coat meat with taco seasoning. Heat oil in lg. skillet over med-high heat; add meat and cook till brown, stirring occasionally. Add salsa and preserves to skillet; lower heat. Cover and simmer for 15- 20 minutes. Serve with hot rice. Recipe can be reduced for a smaller family.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds easy and delicious...I'm going to try it!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great combination. I make a chicken recipe with apricot preserves, and a pork tenderloin with mango chutney. This looks like it'd be a wonderful melding of those two recipes. I'm printing it out and hope to try it soon. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the sweetness of the preserves with the hot flavors of the spices and the sauce! Thanks for sharing your recipe :)
