    This recipe was excellent. My husband prepared himself expecting to not like it and was pleasantly suprised. We thought the combination of the fig sauce with the marinade was excellent.

    This recipe was easy to prepare and excellent. The pork loin cooked perfectly and was very moist. The sauce was delicious. I tried this out on my family first and now I plan to have friends over to enjoy it.

    Even my 7 year old son said that this was the best pork ever and nothing would ever beat it! Yummy. Great with the roasted fennel.

    This meal is absulutely wonderful. I see that a lot of people make this for the holidays. It makes sense with the flavor of the cinnamon and figs. Kinda reminds me of apple cinnamon. I had a lot of sauce left over. Wonder if I could freeze it?
    Thanks for the wonderful meal,

    I served this for 12 people on Christmas Eve. It was a hit!! I strained the fig seeds out of the port sauce before adding the butter to make it a bit smoother. Thanks Giada for making me look REALLY good!

    Made the sauce exactly as directed. Turned out absolutely delicious. I sliced the tenderloin into medallions, pounded to 1/2" thickness, seasoned and pan fried in some butter. Then served with the broth mixture (which isn't really necessary and the fig sauce. Huge hit with everyone.

    Smooth, rich & delicious aren't good enough to describe how delicious this sauce is. My kids love it. Makes plenty to drizzle over rice or potatoes to accompany it. This is a recipe you want to share and one you want to make when you're out to impress!

    The Fig and Port sauce was absolutely incredible. It is very important that you make sure you use a good Port -- something you would drink on its own. The cinnamon adds an incredible background flavor to the sauce, and I used thyme honey, which I think also added to the flavors. My husband says he is going to try this sauce when he makes his duck recipe next, and that's saying a lot for this sauce since the sauce he created for his duck is remarkable, so you know this sauce has to be outstanding for him to try it with his duck. for the Pork Loin, I added Pork Chop Seasoning (from Penzey's as well as Allspice to the oil mixture, and it made the Pork Loin that much more delicious. This recipe is one that will definitely be added to our collection.

    I made the entire meal and it was all very good and fairly easy to make. I loved the fig sauce and will certainly make it again. The pork itself did take 20 min. longer than the recipe claimed. Giada impresses me again!
