This pretty pork entree makes a great holiday dish. Topped with cranberry sauce, the pork medallions are light and filling, but they’re so delicious, guests always want more. –Tami Morrison of Kent, Washington

OOPS! Instead of CRANBERRIES, I used pomegranates. But wouldn't cherries be good, too?

My guests loved, loved, loved this! ONLY, I changed it up a bit as I always use what I have on hand if I can. Instead of the cherries, I had dried pomegranates as well as fresh. I used both paired with a half can of frozen cherry pomegranate juice to which I added a bit of cornstarch beaten into cold water to thicken the sauce. I pounded the tenderloin before cooking and cooked it until it was crispy. I think it adds more flavor. It was delicious and so easy! I also tripled the recipe as I had 12 guests.

I have already made this several times, my guys prefer pork tenderloin to chicken. Also good with apricots.
