How to make Cranberry Pork Tenderloin:

All of the sauce ingredients are combined in a bowl. The sauce is made up of whole berry cranberry sauce, apricot nectar, sweet onion, sugar, cider vinegar, dry mustard and salt. Two pork tenderloins are placed in your casserole dish.

How to remove the silverskin from pork tenderloin:

Silverskin is a layer of tough tissue found on a pork tenderloin. You don’t want to leave the silverskin on the tenderloin because it’s a chewy part of the loin that isn’t nice to eat. It’s easy to remove it. You’ll need a sharp, thin knife. Pull the fat off of the tenderloin, and you should be able to locate the silverskin just below the layer of fat. Slide the knife just under the silverskin and pull it up. As you hold on to one end of the silverskin, you can slide the knife underneath it to cut it off the tenderloin. Try your best to keep the knife close to the silverskin so you don’t pull off the meat with it. Then discard the silverskin.

    Hello Lori, I made this for dinner last night. Wow, wonderful recipe! I did cook it in the slow cooker (6 hours on low). It turned out great, very moist and sliced perfectly. The sauce is the star! So good. I thickened it slightly so it was kind of like a gravy. My husband was still raving about it this morning! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe.
    Best, Jakalyn
