Black Rasberry Marinade for Pork

Tim's Aunt M makes jam every year and always gives us a few jars when we visit.  We are not big toast eaters and hardly ever have PB&J so I needed to figure out how I could use this delicious jam. 
Here is what I came up with.

Ingredients
1 cup raspberry jam *
1 small onion chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp hot chili pepper (optional but recommended)
1/4 cup red wine
1 tbs corn starch

*Note I used Aunt M's Black Raspberry Jam.


In a small sauce pan saute onions and garlic.  Add jam and let simmer.  In a small bowl combine cornstarch and wine until smooth.  Add the mixture to the hot jam mix.  Let simmer for another few minutes. 

Now to use: I used it on ribs on a stick, which is a pork loin with skewers run through to create ribs.  Put the loin in a 9x13 pan and pour the marinade over the meat.  Cover and bake on 325 for 1 1/2 hours and then uncovered for about 20 minutes.  Internal temp should be between 150 and 165.  Fnally broil for 10 min to caramelize.
