I got this from Cooking Club Recipe of the Week. Looks delicious! I love the flavors. From Cooking Club ....: Cider adds a subtle sweetness to the creamy sauce that's served with these thyme-coated pork tenderloins. Read more To give the sauce a bit more zip, replace the regular cider with hard apple cider, which is made from fermented apple juice. Picture also from Cooking Club.... See less
