Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pork tenderloins (3/4 to 1 lb each)
  • 2 3/4 cups Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 jar (12 oz) cherry preserves
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 can (15 oz) pitted dark sweet cherries in syrup, drained
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons chicken broth

Directions

  •  
    1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook about 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer pork to ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of pork. Add 1/4 cup chicken broth to pork; cover pan with foil. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until thermometer reads 155°F. Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes or until thermometer reads 160°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°F, and pork will be easier to carve.)

    Meanwhile, in same skillet, heat sugar over high heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it becomes a golden brown, caramel-flavored syrup. Remove from heat; carefully add 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, stirring constantly (sugar will crystallize).

    Return to heat. Reduce heat to medium; stir in cherry preserves, wine, cherries, bouillon and salt. Cook 6 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely dissolved.

    In small bowl, mix cornstarch and 3 tablespoons broth until smooth; stir into cherry mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook 2 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens. Slice pork; serve with cherry sauce.
