Ingredients
- 1 tsp. garlic salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground dry mustard
- 1 lb. pork tenderloin
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce finely minced (just one pepper, not the whole can)
- 1 c. whole cranberries coarsely chopped
- 1 small clove garlic minced
- 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 c. brown sugar or more to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix garlic salt and dry mustard in a small bowl. Rub evenly over pork. Line a roasting pan with foil. Place pork on a rack coated with cooking spray, and place in the roasting pan. Roast pork in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Mix olive oil and honey in a small bowl. After 30 minutes of cooking, brush the oil and honey mixture over the pork and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Meanwhile, combine chipotle pepper, cranberries, minced garlic, lemon juice, and brown sugar in a small heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes.
- Slice pork and serve with pan juices and cranberry-chipotle sauce on the side.

Notes
- To store Cranberry Pork Tenderloin, place leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cooked pork and sauce separately for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through, to maintain its tenderness. Alternatively, microwave individual slices in a covered dish for about 2 minutes, checking and stirring halfway.
