Ingredients

Sauce:
2 1/2 cups port
1 1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
8 dried black Mission figs, coarsely chopped
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Pork:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon salt, plus additional for seasoning

1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1 (4 to 4 1/2-pound) boneless pork loin

Instructions

For the sauce: In a heavy medium
saucepan, combine the first 6 ingredients. Boil over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
Discard the herb sprigs and cinnamon sticks (some of the rosemary leaves will remain in the port mixture).
Transfer the port mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Blend in the butter. Season the sauce, to
taste, with salt and pepper. (The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium
heat before using.)

For the pork: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Stir the oil, rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a small bowl to blend. Place the pork
loin in a heavy roasting pan. Spread the oil mixture over the pork to coat completely. Roast until an instant
read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, turning the pork every 15
minutes to ensure even browning, about 45 minutes total.

Transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Let the pork rest 15 minutes. Meanwhile,
stir the chicken broth into the roasting pan. Place the pan over medium heat, and scrape the bottom of the pan
to remove any browned bits. Bring the pan juices to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Using a large sharp knife, cut the pork crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the pork slices on
plates. Spoon the jus over. Drizzle the warm fig sauce around and serve immediately.
