Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 c sliced cantaloupes .
  • Marinade .
  • parsley .
  • champagne vinegar .
  • 5-6 whole mushrooms, sliced .
  • 1 medium sweet onion .
  • fruit juice (I used apple berry, but any kind would do) .
  • fresh parsley .
  • powdered ginger .
  • fresh basil .
  • 1 lb pork tenderloins (other cuts would work as well) .
  • 2 tbsps vegetable oil .
  • sugar .
  • garlic salt

Directions
  • Step #1 Pour vinegar & juice in equal amounts into shallow bowl--enough to cover tenderloin pieces.
  • Step #2 Add sugar & spices to taste.
  • Step #3 (I used about 1tbsp of each, remember it has to be pretty strong since it's a marinade) Marinate meat for at least one hr.
  • Step #4 Heat oil in skillet on med heat, add onions, sautee about four mins.
  • Step #5 Add sliced mushrooms, brown.
  • Step #6 Raise heat, push onions & mushrooms to sides, add pork & sear each side.
  • Step #7 Add cantaloupe, reduce heat to med-low & cover.
  • Step #8 Simmer till pork is cooked through (I had really thick pieces & it took about twenty mins!), stirring every once in awhile to keep the other ingredients from sticking.
  • Step #9 TO make the dipping sauce, add about 1/2 c canteloupe pieces to marinade & let simmer about ten min This meal is best with a light red wine like a Shiraz.
  • Step #10 We used a fruity white & it didn't have the body we wanted to compliment the ginger flavor.
