Number Of Ingredients 8

2 - pork tenderloins (approx. 1 lb. each)
2 - limes
1 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon(s) vegetable oil
1 bag(s) 12-oz. bag fresh cranberries
2/3 cup(s) packed light brown sugar
1 - jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Finely zest both limes to measure 4 tbsp. and juice limes to measure 4 tbsp. Set lime juice aside. Mix half of the lime zest with salt and pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Brush tenderloins with vegetable oil and place them in a non-stick roasting pan, fat side up. Roast for 8 minutes - then flip and top with lime zest mixture. Continue roasting until pork reaches 165 (or to your liking), about 20-35 minutes.
  • In medium saucepan, mix 1 cup water with cranberries, brown sugar, jalapeno, lime juice and remaining lime zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until berries burst and juices thicken, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Add cranberry sauce to the roasting pan and bring to a boil over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits in the pan with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.
  • Slice pork into 1/2 -3/4 inch slices and serve with cranberry sauce.
