Ingredients:
- 2 pork tenderloins, about 1 pound each
- 2 large cloves garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon leaf thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- dash ground cloves
- salt and pepper
- 12 to 16 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 can (12 ounces) mandarin orange slices in syrup or lite syrup
- 1/2 cup sugar
- juice and zest from 1 orange
Preparation:
Trim excess fat from pork tenderloins.
Mash and mince the garlic and blend well with the cumin, thyme, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves; mix with 1 to 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil. Rub spice mixture all over the pork tenderloins. Roast until pork registers about 155°.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the cranberries, mandarin orange slices and syrup, sugar, and orange juice and zest. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until cranberries have popped and the mixture is thickened.
Spoon some of the cranberry mixture over the pork tenderloins and roast for 5 minutes longer. Heat remaining cranberry mixture to serve with sliced pork. Let the pork rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Serves 4.
