Ingredients
- 1 3 lb pork tenderloin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 16 oz cranberries fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 orange zested and juiced

Instructions
- Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Place a large frying pan over medium heat, add oil, and once hot, brown each side of the tenderloin.
- Place the meat in the slow cooker, and turn the temperature to low.
- In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange juice, chicken broth, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Stir and bring to a boil.
- Cook the mixture for about 5-8 minutes or until the cranberries begin to split. Reserve about ½ cup of cranberry sauce for serving in a separate small bowl.
