This Red Berry Sauce is simple and tangy and goes great with pork medallions. The sauce is thickened by pureeing cranberries in a blender or food processor. It's a great way to use any leftover berries from Thanksgiving.
The pork medallions are made by cutting 1-inch slices from a pork tenderloin.
Delicate fresh angel hair pasta takes only a minute to cook. If it cooks too long, it will clump together and taste pasty. The secret to cooking it is to bring the water to a rolling boil in a large pasta pot and then add the angel hair. Lots of fresh herbs give the dish a fresh, garden flavor.
Helpful Hints:
_ Dried angel hair pasta can be used instead of fresh. Boil it 3 minutes.
