Recipe Source: Michelle D.
Author: Terri @ that's some good cookin'

Ingredients

  • 1 16 ounce can whole cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 cup orange juice concentrate
  • 1/2-3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 pork tenderloin (1 1 1/2 pounds)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, orange juice concentrate, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves. Taste and adjust spices to personal preference. Set aside.
  • Prep tenderloin by removing the "silver skin" with a sharp knife. The silver skin is the tough, white membrane found near one end of the pork tenderloin. Simply slide a sharp knife just below the silver to slice it away from the muscle tissue. There is a great instructional video at this link.
  • Sprinkle tenderloin with salt and pepper. Place in a lightly greased roasting pan or baking dish.
  • Spoon some of the glaze mixture over the tenderloin.
  • Place in oven and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Spoon some more of the glaze over the tenderloin. Reserve remaining glaze to serve with tenderloin.
  • Continue to cook until the internal temperature of the tenderloin reaches 145-degrees on a thermometer placed in the thickest part of the meat.
  • Remove from oven and wrap foil over the baking dish. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Slice to desired thickness and serve with remaining sauce.
