Ingredients:
- 2 whole pork tenderloins (each about 1 pound)
- 1 16-oz can unsweetened tart cherries
- Cranberry Juice (10 oz. container)
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
Season pork tenderloins with salt and pepper. Roast pork in shallow roasting pan for 20 to 25
minutes, or until internal temperature measured with a meat thermometer reads 155 to 160
degrees F. Pour glaze evenly over tenderloins during the last 10 minutes of roasting time. Serve
tenderloins sliced.
Glaze: Drain cherries, reserving juice. In a small bowl, stir 2 tablespoons reserved juice into
cornstarch. Add remaining reserved juice to one cup liquid measure; add enough cranberry juice
to make one cup. In small saucepan, combine cornstarch mixture, juice, cherries, brown sugar and
cranberries. Cook, stirring until mixture boils and thickens; stir in mustard.
