Pork Tenderloin With Cranberries.
This festive dinner is a perfect solution if you want something with cranberry sauce but don’t actually have time to make the sauce as well as the main dish: it’s a roasted pork tenderloin with a sweet-tart cranberry topping cooked right in same pan! The cranberries add color and flavor, not to mention plenty of nutritional value (notably Vitamin C and other antioxidants).
