"Looking for something new to do with pork, I decided to give it an international flavor," says Brenda Webb of Corpus Christi, Texas. "My love of Mexican and Chinese cuisines influenced this dish."
2 medium apples, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1-1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
2 to 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
Directions
In a bowl, toss lime juice with apples; set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, brown pork in 1 tablespoon oil. Remove and keep warm. Saute jalapenos, onion and garlic in remaining oil until tender. Add the cranberries, water chestnuts, apple juice, brown sugar, cumin, lime zest, salt, pepper and apples. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
Return pork to the pan. Reduce heat; cover and cook until fruit is tender and meat juices run clear. Garnish with green onion.

I wasn't expecting this recipe to taste as good as it did! We used plain boneless pork chops instead of pork tenderloin and left out the water chestnuts. Really yummy!~ Theresa
