Since my husband hates leftovers and there are just the two of us, I always try to pare recipes down in both quantity and fat content. This sweet-and-sour pork is such a favorite. My husband happily finishes any leftovers for lunch the next day! —Linda Brown, Columbus, North Carolina

Ingredients

1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup uncooked brown rice
4-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened pineapple chunks, undrained
1/2 cup 100% raspberry spreadable fruit
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 pork tenderloin (3/4 pound)

In a small saucepan, bring broth and rice to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until rice is tender.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth; set aside. In a saucepan, combine the pineapple and spreadable fruit; cook and stir until spreadable fruit is dissolved. Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder and ginger. Bring to a boil. Stir cornstarch mixture and stir into pineapple mixture; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Keep warm.
