Sista’s Helpful Tips

Print

Today I thought I’d take todays post as an opportunity to  answer the mystry question about where one can purchase Fig Filling. If your questioning why one might be asking then you must not have purchased a copy of my cookbook yet. For those who have, I thank you very much for your support and hope your enjoying every page! My recipe for Pork Tenderloin with Vidalia Onion Fig Sauce on page 196  includes fig filling in the list of ingredients, many folks are writing in asking where it is sold. I have seen it in many grocery stores but the other day while I was shopping at Market Basket I noticed the Fig Filling on the shelf, and took out my phone and snapped this photo to clarify it’s exact location in the store to make your life a little easier. Fig filling  can be found at the far end of aisle #7 .

Hi Felicia and Joey–I made your divine Pork Tenderloin with Fig sauce last night–my husband LOVED IT. Thank you!!! Served it with an herb couscous (using up remaining herbs from our garden-minced parsley, tarragon, and chives) and carmelized, pan-cooked sweet potatoes. All three recipes super, super easy and fun.

Quick question–the recipe says cook the pork for 25 minutes. I thought that seemed short for pork and had to cook ours for 45 minutes to reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees.

Also, was watching Julia Child on PBS Saturday afternoon while doing the dishes and was inspired to make her cheese souffle for dinner Saturday night. Came out perfectly and am inspired to experiment with adding fillings. Crab is a common filling–am thinking about trying lobster filling. What makes Julia so timeless is that she teaches technique–as do you!
