Transformed thus during the last few months, this condition of affairs has, to use a metaphor taken from the Great War, “crystallized”. Reinforcements in men and material continue to reach both sides, but the revolutionary side is more constantly supplied than the other.

Pork with Fruits

Posted Saturday, March 1st, 2008 at 20:29 by Susi
I made this for my friend as a congratulations. I sort of made it up as I went along so maybe the proportions aren't so good in regards to the sugar/beef broth, but basically the sauce just needs to thicken up while it is cooking.

1 largeish orange
1 regular (??) pear
250g brown or golden caster sugar + a little extra
250ml beef broth
500g pork tenderloin

-----

Preheat the oven to 350F, 180C, Gas Mark 4
