Sorry all, I won't be able to do a recipe on Friday. I'm going to be with my Mom and won't be home till the evening. If anyone else wishes to start the thread, please do, and I will contribute when I get home.
This is a Jenny Craig recipe. I thought it looked delish.
Brandy Pear Pork Tenderloin
{{!gwi}}
 2 (3/4lb) pork tenderloins
 ½ cup brandy
 2/3 cup finely chopped fresh pear
 2 Tbs finely chopped almonds, toasted
 2 Tbs raisins, chopped
 1 Tbs cider vinegar
 2 tsp chopped crystallized ginger
 vegetable cooking spray
 12 fresh pear slices (optional)
1. Trim fat from pork. Cut pork lengthwise to within ½ inch of outer edge of each tenderloin. Place in a shallow dish; pour brandy over tenderloins, and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours, turning occasionally.
2. Remove tenderloins from marinade. Place marinade in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
3. Combine chopped pear and next 4 ingredients; stir well. Spread half of mixture in center of each tenderloin to within ½ inch of sides. Bring sides of meat together, and secure at 2-inch intervals with string.
4. Place tenderloins on a rack in a roasting pan coated with cooking spray. If desired, insert meat thermometer into thickest part of tenderloin. Bake uncovered at 375° F for 45 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 160° F, basting frequently with marinade. Let stand 10 minutes; slice into 18 pieces and arrange on a large serving platter. If desired, garnish with pear slices.
