Ingredients for Tenderloin with Pear-Cran Chutney

• 1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp of grape juice (100% juice)
• 2 firm ripe pears peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (your choice of dark/light)
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice

Directions for Tenderloin with Pear-Cran Chutney

1. Spray a 12-inch skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and wine. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until onion is tender but not brown.
2. Add the pears, cranberries, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cranberries burst. Transfer chutney to bowl and set aside.
