"Talk about versatile recipes! This is a long-time family favorite just as it is, but occasionally, I jazz up the recipe with jalapeno peppers and fresh ginger. I've also made it with peach preserves and dried cherries for a delicious change of pace," notes Julie Wesson of Wilton, Wisconsin.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork medallions are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • If you don't have cranberry sauce on hand, you can make your own by simmering fresh or frozen cranberries with sugar and water until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens.
  • For a more flavorful sauce, use a combination of fresh orange juice and orange zest. You can also add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the sauce for a touch of sweetness.
  • Serve the pork medallions with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
