Cranberries are not just for cranberry sauce at the Thanksgiving table…

Cranberry Pork Tenderloin

The tartness of the cranberries paired with the acid and sweetness of the orange juice is a perfect complement.

Just a handful of ingredients in this.

Two tenderloins just fit in my slow cooker.

Delicious!
