Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed of any fat and silver skin
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1 teaspoon beef stock powder
1/4 cup red wine
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup dried apple
1/4 cup craisins
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Steps:

Place tenderloin in a lightly greased or cooking sprayed nonreactive roasting pan. In a small saucepan, heat juice, brown sugar, pineapple juice, bouillon, red wine, balsamic vinegar, dried apple, and craisins until sugar is dissolved; pour over pork in the roasting pan.
Cover with foil and bake at 350° for about 45 minutes, or until pork is no longer pink and a meat thermometer registers at least 150° in the center.
Remove from oven, set meat aside and let stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, drain pan juices, reserving fruit. Add juices to a sauté pan, which has been heating on high heat. Boil down and reduce juices by half to make sauce.
Slice pork into ¼" medallions and serve with sauce drizzled on top and spoon over some of the reserved fruit. (Optional: for a bit of a kick, it might be nice to whisk ½ tsp of Dijon Mustard into the reduction sauce) Serves 4 to 6.
