Categories     Onion     Roast     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Cranberry     Pork Tenderloin     Fall     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 2, can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 8- to 10-ounce pork tenderloin
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1/3 cup canned whole berry cranberry sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Sear pork on all sides, about 2 minutes. Place skillet with pork in oven. Roast pork until thermometer inserted into center registers 155°F, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and rosemary; sauté until onion softens, about 3 minutes. Add broth, cranberry sauce and vinegar and whisk until cranberry sauce melts, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer pork to work surface. Scrape any juices from large skillet into cranberry mixture. Boil until sauce has reduced enough to coat spoon thickly, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Slice pork and serve with sauce.

Tips:

  • Use ripe oranges for the best flavor. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a deep orange color.
  • To zest the oranges, use a Microplane zester or a vegetable peeler to remove the outermost layer of the orange peel. Avoid getting any of the white pith, as it is bitter.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the sauce to help balance the flavors.
  • Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature. It can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This orange balsamic cranberry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make condiment that is perfect for the holidays. It is also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. The combination of orange, balsamic vinegar, and cranberries creates a sweet and tangy sauce that is perfect for serving with roasted turkey, chicken, or pork. It can also be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or yogurt.
