Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cinnamon, chili, cumin, fennel, paprika, pepper and salt.
- Rub each pork loin generously with the seasoning blend. Let the pork sit 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat a large, oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Place the pork tenderloins in the pan and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Place the seared pork into the oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads 155 to 160 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the tenderloins from the oven, place them on a plate or cutting board, tent with foil and allow the meat to rest 10 minutes.
- Cut the pork into 1-inch thick slices and spoon liberal amounts of Cranberry Chutney over the pork and enjoy!
- In a medium saucepot, add the onions, garlic, 1/2 to 3/4 cup water, vinegar, sugar, ginger, allspice, fennel, chile and cloves. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the cranberries to the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the mixture until the cranberries have reconstituted and start softening and breaking down. If too much liquid evaporates, just add more water and keep cooking until you achieve the desired consistency. The chutney should be on the firmer/chunkier side of a jelly. Once the chutney is cooked, season with salt and pepper.
CRANBERRY-PEAR CHUTNEY
This is a sweet (pear) sauce with a little kick (cranberry) in it; a wonderful chutney for just about any type of meat you can think of. This will be replacing my gravy at Thanksgiving and Christmas. My 4-year-old daughter loves it and so does half my neighborhood. It is so easy to make, too; all you do is you put everything in a big saucepan and you are good to go. The chutney will thicken more as it cools; store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEAR-CRANBERRY SAUCE
This is my own recipe. I scored some great locally raised pork tenderloin and some homemade maple syrup in the same week, and was inspired to create a recipe that used these and other regional ingredients. This recipe comes together very quickly. I made the sauce while the tenderloins were roasting and it took me less than 45 minutes from the time I started prepping ingredients to getting it on the table. By the way, I specify port, but sweet marsala or sherry should work (or substitute 2 Tbs of balsamic vinegar in 1/3 cup water for the 1/2 cup wine). Using >Bosc< pears is key because they won't break down when cooked. I served the tenderloins with buttermilk biscuits and lightly steamed green beans. And had a pint of Wolaver's brown ale to go with it all. Beauty!

Steps:
- For the sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat and add shallots. Cook just until softened.
- Add pears, cranberries, syrup, juice, port, salt and lemon peel (leave the peel whole to make it easier to remove later). Bring to a very gentle simmer and reduce by about half to a syrupy consistency (8-10 minutes). The cranberries will break down a bit and the Bosc pears should soften but not turn to mush. Remove from heat, remove the peel and keep warm.
- For the tenderloins: Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Dry the tenderloin and remove any excess fat and connective tissue (the silvery film often found around tenderloins will constrict when cooked and can make them curl up and wring out the moisture from the meat). Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it just starts to smoke. Brown the tenderloins on all sides (about 10 minutes).
- If you didn't use an oven-safe skillet (I use cast iron) then place the tenderloins in a baking dish. Place the skillet/dish in the oven and roast until the pork registers 135°F - about 10-15 minutes. Turn the tenderloins about halfway through the cooking time.
- Transfer the tenderloins to a carving board and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. They should reach an internal temperature of about 145-150°F.
- Gently reheat the sauce for a few moments. Slice the tenderloin into 1" pieces and dress with the sauce.

Tips:
- Choose a pork tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight and has a uniform thickness.
- To make the cranberry-pear chutney, use fresh cranberries and pears. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cranberries and pears by hand. Just make sure they are chopped finely.
- When searing the pork tenderloin, be sure to sear it over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meat.
- After searing the pork tenderloin, transfer it to a baking dish and cook it in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with the cranberry-pear chutney and your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin with cranberry-pear chutney is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The pork is tender and juicy, and the chutney is sweet and tart. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
