Ingredients
3/4 C. Port or other sweet red wine
3/4 C. dried tart cherries
3 T. all-purpose flour
1/2 t. ground coriander
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. black pepper
1-1/2 lb pork tenderloin
1 T. butter
2 T. finely chopped shallots
1 C. chicken broth
Directions
1. Place port in a 1 C. glass measure and microwave on high 20 seconds or until very warm.  Combine port and cherries; cover and let stand 10 minutes or until soft.  Drain cherries in a colander over a bowl, reserving port.

Add pork; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned.  Remove pork; stir in reserved port, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.  Add cherries and shallots.  Reduce heat; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently.  Stir in broth; bring to a simmer.
