A delightful pork tenderloin recipe featuring the sweetness of pears and cranberries, balanced with aromatic spices.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the correct temperature for the dish.
Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
Using nonstick spray prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Place the pork tenderloin in the prepared baking dish.
Ensure the pork is evenly placed for uniform cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pears, onion, garlic, dried cranberries, white wine, olive oil, dried thyme, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well distributed.
Pour the mixture over the pork tenderloin in the baking dish.
Ensure the pork is well coated with the mixture for maximum flavor.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture and ensures tender pork.
Remove the foil and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, enhancing flavor.
Serve the pork tenderloin with the pear and cranberry mixture, and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh thyme for an extra touch of elegance.
