Pork Tenderloin with Cranberry Apple Chutney is a surprisingly simple recipe. Juicy pork tenderloin is topped with a tart, yet sweet, Cranberry Apple Chutney. It’s an easy, yet elegant meal that’s perfect for the holiday season.

The holiday season can be so hectic. Finding time to fit every thing in, while still being able to sit back and enjoy time with loved ones, can be challenging!

This year, we booked a couple holiday-related weekend trips well ahead of time. That way they can’t get pushed off to the next year…again. Between these planned trips and my oldest son’s travel soccer schedule, our free time together to just sit back and relax at home is very limited.

But, this is a special time of the year. And to bring a feel of the holidays to even just our everyday routine at home is something that I really enjoy. Besides the decorations, the best way I know how to do that is with food.

Pork Tenderloin with Cranberry Apple Chutney is an easy recipe to start with! The beautiful dish can be made any night of the week, yet also be the star during holidays or when entertaining. The best part? It’s on the table in under an hour!

Now, you might be asking yourself, what exactly is a chutney? Basically, a chutney is a combination of sweet and savory ingredients cooked down into a chunkier sauce. In this case, the Cranberry Apple Chutney, is somewhat similar to a Cranberry Sauce. However, the addition of ingredients like onion and raisins, plus the use of cooking wine, technically makes it a chutney.

For this recipe, I use Holland House Red Cooking Wine to really amp up the flavor of the chutney.

About Holland House Cooking Wines

I mentioned that in this recipe for Pork Tenderloin with Cranberry Apple Chutney, I use Holland House Red Cooking Wine. The reason I opted to use red cooking wine is because of the smooth, medium-bodied wine flavor. Just adding a generous splash of this cooking wine to the chutney added even more depth of flavor to the dish overall.

The Red Cooking Wine variety is also ideal for beef and lamb dishes, as well as heartier soups, stews, and chilis.

But, Holland House Cooking Wines are actually available in five varieties – Marsala, Sherry, White, Red, and White with Lemon. Each one provides a simple way to add a big boost of bold flavor to all your favorite winter and holiday meals!
