This would work beautifully wrapped in foil and barbecued too!

  • 1 lb tenderloin
  • 1 cup whole cranberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 c. chopped onion (approx.)

It couldn’t be easier! Check it out:

  1. Combine all ingredients except the tenderloin, and stir until sweetener is dissolved.
  2. Place tenderloin in oven-safe dish and bake at 350° or barbecue meat and simmer the sauce over low heat.
  3. Cook until internal temperature reaches 160 – approx 20 minutes for the overn, and less for the BBQ.

And, friends, I SWEAR I took pictures.  I remember taking pictures, because the juice stained the meat a funny pink color!  But alas, they were eaten by the mean picture-eaters.   But in my searching I found this:
