Sweet and Spicy Cherry Jalapeno Pork
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
  • 4 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 1/2 pounds boneless country-style pork ribs, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh sweet cherries, pitted and cut into quarters
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Heat the olive oil in a large, covered saucepan over medium heat.
2
To soften the vegetables, cook and stir the onion, green bell pepper, green onions, jalapeno pepper, and garlic for about 10 minutes.
3
Then add the pork, cherries, cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and onion powder to the saucepan.
4
Mix everything together well before bringing the mixture to a boil.
5
Cover the saucepan and lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cooking until the pork is fully cooked through and no longer pink, while the vegetables and cherries release their juices, which takes about 30 minutes.
6
Next, remove the lid and stir in the honey to add a touch of sweetness.
7
Sprinkle salt and pepper according to your taste preferences before continuing to cook the sauce uncovered, allowing it to thicken slightly and the pork to become tender, which should take another 30 minutes.
8
Finally, check on the sauce and adjust its consistency as needed.
