I love, love, love this recipe. I actually used an extra lean tenderloin the first time I tried it and it is my husband's and kids favorite roast. I have used it for both Christmas and Thanksgiving. This year I am using it again for Thanksgiving with a extra lean tenderloin again.
I also used a can cranberry but I used the jelled one ( it's what I had on hand) . I also didn't have orange juice, but I had the concentrate and it came out wonderful! I used half concentrate to the recipe and water for the other half. Much less sugar also. I loved it! will definitely make this again. Maybe use it on a ham next time :) .
I entered this in my local county fair with a few changes. I used a pork tenderloin, 4 cups whole berry cranberry sauce( couldn't find fresh or frozen cranberries anywhere), omitted the sugar because of the canned berries, and accidentally doubled the salt and pepper. I also ended up baking it for about 60 minutes. The dish got 1st place with comments on how juicy and tender it was. There wasn't much left by the time I picked the dish back up. I've had several requests for the recipe.
We were invited to dinner with friends. They used pork tenderloin (one of my favorites) and it was wonderful. We'll be serving this again and again.
my family loved this recipe....
This is my favorite roast pork recipe. I used tin whole berry cranberrys (as cranberries were not available at that time). Used only 1 Tbsp. of sugar (as cranberry sauce sweet enough)and added the barbecue sauce with orange juice. I baked the roast w/the lid on. Really delicious. *****
