This pork tenderloin with cranberry sauce and onion curry glaze is ready in about an hour and makes such a delicious roast.
It’s fancy enough for Sunday dinner or an evening with guests but easy enough for a quick weeknight meal, especially if you make the glaze ahead of time.
And if you love the taste of cranberries all year long, this is a great way to get your fix. (Try these cranberry chili meatballs too!)
Ingredients for cranberry pork tenderloin
- 2 lb pork tenderloin (or two tenderloins!)
- 1/2 cup onion
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
Roasted Pork Tenderloin
Preheat the oven and place the pork tenderloin in a roasting pan. Rub with a light coating of olive oil.
Bake until temperature reaches 160 degrees. (Line the catch pan with tinfoil to help with clean-up.)
Cranberry Sauce and Onion Curry Glaze
While the pork tenderloin is baking, start making the cranberry glaze by cooking onion and curry powder in butter until the onion is tender but not brown.
Stir in cranberry sauce and corn syrup and let heat through.
Keep in mind you can make the cranberry glaze ahead of time. Store it in the fridge and reheat while pork is roasting.
When the pork tenderloin has reached 160-degree internal temperature, slice it into medallions. I like to lay the tenderloin slices over rice.
Spoon the cranberry sauce and onion curry glaze over the pork.
If you prefer, you can serve the glaze on the side, but I like to pour it over the top because it’s pretty!
