- 4½ cups sliced or diced rhubarb (1½ lbs or 10-11 stalks)
- 1 packet (1.75 oz) pectin
- 5½ - 6 cups sugar
To Sear & Roast Pork

How-to
Marinate Pork
- Place pork in a baking dish
- Rub pork with smashed garlic. Bruise (lightly tap with a knife to release oils) sprigs of thyme and add to the baking dish
- Season all sides of the tenderloin with black pepper
- Drizzle olive oil on all sides
- Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours
Make Rhubarb Thyme Jam
- Place wine, star anise and ginger in a saucepot over low heat and reduce ingredients 8-10 minutes to a syrupy consistency
- Add orange juice and thyme. Reduce until liquid is almost gone, about 6-7 minutes
- Add rhubarb, stir to mix ingredients, and turn heat to medium-high
- Gradually stir in the pectin and bring to a boil. This may take 3-4 minutes. Once at a boil, allow to cook 1 minute
- Add sugar and stir to combine. Bring back to a boil and cook 1 additional minute
- Remove from heat and skim any foam off the top. Discard star anise, ginger and thyme. Set aside and let cool
Roast Pork, Slice & Serve
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat
- Sprinkle pork on all sides with salt
- Remove pork from marinating dish, leaving the crushed garlic cloves and thyme behind
- Place in heated pan and brown evenly, 3¼ - 4 minutes each side (this will take about 8-10 minutes)
- Remove back to the baking dish, on top of the garlic and thyme sprigs
- Place in the oven and roast until internal temperature is 150° (using a meat thermometer), about 25-30 minutes (depending on the size of the tenderloin)
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 8-10 minutes, then slice and arrange on plates with a spoonful of rhubarb thyme jam

Since 2001, Todd Heberlein has been living a chef's dream at Wilson Farm, cooking up fresh family-ready meals for visitors to take home. With the amazing choices the farm has to offer at his culinary fingertips, he's inspired by what's in season, by his children, and by the famiies he sees at the farm to create healthy, creative, delicious meals that honor the farm, his own skills, and those people lucky enough to enjoy his delicious dishes.
Chefs who have access to the freshest ingredients a farm has to offer are living the dream. Todd Heberlein of Wilson Farm has a greenhouse at his fingertips and springtime signals the arrival of rhubarb. We'd eat his versatile rhubarb thyme jam with a spoon on its own. But it also goes perfectly with pork tenderloin marinated overnight in garlic and fresh thyme. Roasted the next day, the juicy, fragrant and flavorful pork gets a dollop of jam for serving. Surprisingly easy and seriously delicious.
