Why I Use And Love KitchenAid Products

I knew this recipe would turn out exactly as I’d imagined – perfectly heavenly. And the blueberry balsamic reduction was unlike any I’ve experienced before. 

I’d like to talk about my favorite way to grind and make coffee first. Since making coffee is an art (for us coffee lovers) and grinding your beans to the precise grind size just before brewing is a key element in brewing the best possible cup of coffee.

To ensure I get the perfect cup of coffee, I use the KitchenAid’s Burr Grinder. Not only does it make the perfect cup, but it grinds the perfect bean too.

Burr grinding offers a level of precision and consistency that makes it the choice of top baristas and in coffee houses.

In addition, Burr grinding is a low RPM process that keeps the heat to a minimum making sure the flavor of the bean is never compromised.

Designed for the ultimate performance and reliability, the KitchenAid® Burr Grinder uses stainless steel burrs to grind coffee consistently at any of the 15 available grind levels.

The glass bean hopper holds up to seven ounces of whole beans that you can quickly grind for French Press coffee, automatic drip coffee makers, espresso or anything in between.

Be sure to check it out. You’ll get the perfect cup of coffee every time and be able to grind beans to perfection for recipes like this one! 

I get perfect grinds every time! I love how I can choose the setting for the perfect grinds so easily. For this recipe, you’ll want a medium-fine setting.

Coffee Rubbed Pork Loin With A Blueberry Balsamic Reduction Sauce

Coffee Rubbed Pork Loin With A Blueberry Balsamic Reduction Sauce

Ingredients

  • Pork Loin Roast - As large as you need it to be. Mine was about 5 pounds
  • 3 tbsp. ground coffee beans (finely ground if possible, but not as fine as espresso)
  • 1/2 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika or cayenne pepper which ever you prefer
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • Ingredients: Blueberry Balsamic Reduction
  • 1 large finely diced yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup of either brown sugar or raw
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries - I used the entire small package
  • 1 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°
  2. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl - I like to add some water to the mix to make a paste. It's easier to rub all over the pork loin.
  3. Rub mixture over pork.
  4. Cover and let stand 15 minutes
  5. Bake pork for at least 2-3 hours or until a thermometer reads 175 degrees which is perfect for pork
  6. Remove pork from pan

Cover pork and let stand 5 minutes.

1.Directions for Reduction

2.Brown onion in olive oil

3. Add blueberries and cook on high heat for 5 mins

4. Add sugar and balsamic

5. Stir frequently for 20 min until sauce thickens. It will reach a loose jam-like texture.

Here are some pics of the process. This will be the most flavor-packed and delicious meal you’ve had in years. 

First, you’ll want to start with a pork loin roast. This one was about 5 pounds or so.

Gather all of your spices and brown sugar.

Now, pop this beauty into the oven at 425 and let the coffee and spices do their magic!

I started my reduction glaze about 20 minutes before the roast was done. Don’t forget to include 10 minutes after you remove it from the oven to allow for the pork rest time before you serve. 

Start with some fresh blueberries – yes, you can still find them at your local supermarket.

I like to brown my onions for about 5 minutes before adding the blueberries.

You must be patient and continue to cook and stir this for at least 20 minutes before it deglazes fully. 

You will see it slowly come together into a thick, rich, jam-like consistency. YUM!

And below, the finished product. It sets up beautifully. You can use this glaze with any meat you like. I can’t wait to make it for a chicken dish soon too!

  1. This looks amazing. I have been playing with different kinds of rubs but mostly chilis. I must try coffee! Thank you for sharing this. I am going to try it!

  2. Wowee this dish looks like delish, and a real labor of love! I don’t eat meat, but I will try the sauce for sure.

  3. I might have to stick to decaf, because I probably won’t be able to sleep if I used regular coffee. Using coffee as a rub for pork is a first for me. It does sound pretty amazing though! I think I also have a few coffee-fanatic friends that I am going to share this recipe with.

  4. Hi Elle, The amount of coffee you use for this recipe is really small and I would think the caffeine burns of in baking. You really don’t taste it either – just the rich bold essence of it. It’s truly incredible. Let me know if you get a chance to try it. The blueberry reduction is out of this world too! Thanks so much and have an amazing holiday season!
