Add rosemary sprigs and cook until wine is reduced by half. Stir in vinegar and sugar. Add strawberry juice and stir well, cooking for an additional 4 minutes.

Set aside, but keep warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Serve it up!<\/h3>\n<p>When you have two different yet distinctive sauces to serve on the same plate, the artform of plating becomes interesting, and hopefully fun. What I truly enjoyed about this recipe was deciding which sauce to try first, first alternating between one another and then trying them together. Delicious! You be the judge.<\/p>\n<p>Place a nice scoop of mashed potatoes on the third top part of a plate. Next, arrange two or three slices of pork loin on the side of the plate, slightly overlapping the potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>Nestle some of the rainbow carrots between the potatoes and pork. Drizzle the pesto alongside the pork. Finally, drizzle some of the strawberry-red wine sauce along the bottom of the plate and serve.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18433\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18433\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18433 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Grilled-pork-with-walnut-tarragon-pesto-and-strawberry-wine-sauce-2.jpg\" alt=\"Grilled pork with walnut tarragon pesto and strawberry wine sauce 2\" width=\"850\" height=\"551\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Grilled-pork-with-walnut-tarragon-pesto-and-strawberry-wine-sauce-2.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Grilled-pork-with-walnut-tarragon-pesto-and-strawberry-wine-sauce-2-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Grilled-pork-with-walnut-tarragon-pesto-and-strawberry-wine-sauce-2-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Grilled-pork-with-walnut-tarragon-pesto-and-strawberry-wine-sauce-2-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Grilled-pork-with-walnut-tarragon-pesto-and-strawberry-wine-sauce-2-175x113.jpg 175w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Grilled-pork-with-walnut-tarragon-pesto-and-strawberry-wine-sauce-2-450x292.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 850px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 850\/551;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18433\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grilled pork with walnut tarragon pesto and strawberry wine sauce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"viewer-a2882\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"><strong><u class=\"_3zM-5\"> <\/u>Bon appetit!
