Pork served with a luscious raspberry glaze is fancy enough for company. We bring it to the table with wild rice pilaf and steamed veggies. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Ingredients

1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry spreadable fruit
2 teaspoons minced fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh mint, optional

Directions

Cut tenderloin crosswise into eight slices; pound each with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Remove from pan; keep warm.
Reduce heat to medium-low; add soy sauce, garlic and ginger to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Add raspberries, spreadable fruit, basil and, if desired, mint; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Serve with pork.
