Pork Tenderloin With Cranberry Pomegranate Sauce

Fiona Haynes
With pork tenderloin deemed as lean as skinless chicken breast, this makes a great low-fat alternative to poultry, which often takes center stage on low-fat menus. Serve this delicious, succulent pork tenderloin with a tart and flavorful cranberry pomegranate sauce. In the summer months, I highly recommend substituting cranberries with cherries for an equally delicious sauce.

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 2 tbsp salt-free poultry seasoning
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice (such as Pom brand)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Trim pork tenderloin of excess fat, and silver skin. Spray pork briefly with nonstick cooking spray. Rub with poultry seasoning.

Place pork in a small, shallow roasting pan, tucking thin end of tenderloin under to ensure even roasting.

Roast for 20-25 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer reads 155 degrees Fahrenheit and the juices run clear.

Remove from oven, and place on a platter and cover loosely with foil.

Meanwhile, heat pomegranate juice, sugar and cranberries in a small saucepan on medium high until boiling, stirring occasionally; reduce heat to medium low and cook until sauce thickens and reduces.

Slice pork into 8, and serve sauce in a sauce boat alongside the pork, or drizzle sauce on top of pork.
