Red, White and Blue!

[kilo charlie]

Taking a play off of WaterRat and his recent grilled pork tenderloin , I switched things up a bit.

I brined my pork tenderloin as he did but I made my glaze with Cherry Wine and Cherry Preserves and when it was finished I ran it through my blender so that I could apply it with a squeeze bottle. It was smoked on my Pit Boss Copperhead 5 and I used my Meater Plus to monitor the temps.

In the middle is hominy cooked in a cast iron skillet with scallions and hot smoked thick cut peppered bacon. (Also smoked on the Pit Boss Copperhead 5)

Finally, "blue" (technically purple) mashed potatoes mixed with sour cream that has been mixed with Ranch Dip Mix.

Delicious looking and attention getting plated meal!!! Really like the color and flavor matchup. Added your mashed potato recipe to my recipe list. The use of ranch dip caught my attention.

I saw Rachel Ray or someone use sour cream years ago and I immediately switched to that. Just made sense to me to add the Ranch Dip Mix into the sour cream prior to using it in the mashed potatoes.

Beautiful !!!
I've seen Ice Cream that color, but this is the first Purple Taters I've seen!!
The Meat Looks Awesome, and the stuff in the Middle reminds Me of Jackie Gleason.

Very nice! Very colorful! How did you find the cherry vs the blackberry? The hominy looks good, I've never made that, do you have a recipe you follow?

Thank you!

The potatoes are a super dark color before and after cooking them.. the color lightened up a bit when I added the sour cream
