Pork Medallions With Red Currant Sauce image

Red current jelly renders the sauce a vibrant crimson though you can use any variety of fruit jelly. This has become DH's favorite meal, he asks for it quite often. I do not mind because it is quick, easy and very tasty. The first time I tried the recipe I made the sauce as well. My family did not care for it, so I now just make the tenderloin. Cooking Light.
