A word of cooking advice, learned last night
If you are making pork tenderloin, and your recipe calls for spooning jam on top, and you choose strawberry because it is what you have on hand, then when you cut into the pork, the pork juices and meet will not be clear, but will instead be pink because they have been colored by the jam.
