Ingredients

3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each)
COMPOTE:
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
2 medium quinces, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine or additional reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Combine the salt, thyme, ginger and pepper; sprinkle over pork. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan lined with heavy-duty foil. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8 minutes. Uncover; simmer 25-30 minutes longer or until quinces are tender and liquid is thickened. Discard bay leaf.
Let pork stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with compote.
