Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork tenderloin
- 1 cup Cranberry sauce (whole berry)
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloins and place them in the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, orange juice, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the cranberry mixture over the pork tenderloins, making sure the tenderloins are fully coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the pork is very tender and cooked through.
Once the pork is cooked, remove the tenderloins from the crock pot and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
To thicken the sauce, mix the cornstarch with the water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the remaining cranberry sauce in the crock pot.
Turn the crock pot to HIGH and cook the sauce for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
Slice the pork tenderloins into medallions and serve with the thickened cranberry sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
