- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup red plum jam
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions
Spray 8-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick vegetable cooking spray. Add onion and oil. Cook over medium heat for 4 to 7 minutes, or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low. Stir in jam, vinegar, soy sauce and ginger. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until jam is melted, stirring occasionally. Stir in plums. Set sauce aside. Pound pork pieces lightly to 1-inch thickness. Sprinkle both sides of each piece lightly with cayenne. Spray 10-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick vegetable cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or just until meat is no longer pink, turning over once. Serve topped with plum sauce. Notes: Fresh plums make a prepared plum jam/jelly chunky. One tenderloin will serve 4 to 8 diners.
