Onion Apricot Sauce! Amazing on Pork Tenderloin.

Bring the flavor of a French bistro home with this very elegant onion apricot sauce.  It will wow your guests.  I have always served it with pork tenderloin, but I think it would be great on fish or any other white meat.

Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet valdalia onion, sliced into very thin rings
• 2-3 shallots, finely sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup of fruity white wine
• 1/2 cup of chicken broth
• 2 heaping tbsp of apricot jam
• 1/4 tsp of herbs de Provence (or a pinch of each: thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, basil)
• 2 tbsp of butter
• 1-2 tbsp of olive oil
• 1/4-1/2 tsp of sugar to add extra sweetness
• Salt and pepper

In a large sauce pan, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat.  Carmelize the onions, garlic, and shallots in the butter/oil with a bit of salt, pepper and sugar.  When the onions have softened, add the wine, chicken broth, jam, and herbs.  Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 40 minutes until the sauce has thickened.  Season with salt and pepper and serve over pork tenderloin.
