¹⁄₂ cup fresh cranberries, chopped

¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried sage

directions

To make the stuffing, melt the butter in a large saucepan and saute the onion until tender but do not brown.
Stir in the cranberries, celery seed, sage, thyme and allspice.
Add the breadcrumbs and stir until evenly mixed.
Season with salt and pepper.
Cut the tenderloins lengthwise but do not cut right through.
The meat should open like a book.
Pound lightly with a cleaver or rolling pin to flatten slightly.
Spread the stuffing on one side of the meat, fold the other side over the stuffing and tie with cotton string.
Place the meat on a rack in a roasting pan.
Rub with butter.
Bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven for 20 to 30 minutes to the pound for approximately 1 hour.
Baste several times with the pan juices.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

I used 1/2 a tenderloin so I halved the stuffing recipe. I also used dried Craisins and my stuffing came out gritty - next time I'll add a little liquid. Otherwise the flavor was yummy! Thank you!

I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!
