Since moving to Stockholm to join my Swedish husband, I'm learning to base my cooking on ingredients that are plentiful here. It seems that pork is more popular--and more readily available--than chicken (my usual standby) so I developed:

For marinade
Preparation
Make marinade:
Step 1
In a large bowl stir together marinade ingredients and let stand 15 minutes.
Step 2
Add pork to marinade, tossing to coat completely. Marinate pork, covered and chilled, at least 2 hours, or overnight, turning pork at least once.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 200°F.
Step 4
Remove pork from marinade and cut into 1-inch-thick slices. In a bowl dredge pork in flour, shaking off excess. In a large heavy skillet heat 1 tablespoon butter and vegetable oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté pork 5 minutes on each side. Transfer pork to a heatproof dish and keep warm in middle of oven.
Step 5
To skillet add remaining tablespoon butter and sauté shallots, stirring, 1 minute. Add mushrooms and sauté, stirring, 5 minutes, or until liquid they give off is evaporated. Add brandy and cook mixture, stirring, until almost evaporated. Add water and preserves and cook, stirring, until combined well. Stir in cream. Add pork and simmer 5 minutes.
