1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
Cran-Orange Sauce
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon orange juice, divided

Dash ground cloves
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges
1 tablespoon cornstarch
In a small bowl, combine the first four ingredients; rub over pork. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees for 25-28 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.
