Cranberry Cherry Pork Tenderloin

This is an easy crock pot dinner that is made with pork tenderloin (or pork loin if you have it).  The best part-you don't even need to thaw the meat!


  • Pork tenderloin (or loin), frozen-if thawed just adjust recipe by 1 1/2-2 hrs less
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 Tbls mustard
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbls cornstarch
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/3 cup cranberry juice
  • 1 can cranberry sauce (if cranberries are in season, use a 10 oz bag)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup dried cherries (or Craisins)
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

  1. Place pork in crockpot
  2. Combine next 6 ingredients, dump over pork  (if pork is thawed, you can rub it over the meat like a wet rub)
  3. Pour in rest of ingredients, no need to stir
  4. Cook on Low for 9- 10 hours or High 4-5 hours  (if thawed, 8-9 on low or 3-4 on high)
  5. Slice meat (will be very soft) and serve with juices ladled on top
*Great with cous cous with some of the liquid from the meat replacing some of the water

**Also great as "pulled pork" mixed in with the juices and served on potato buns or over rice
