    weight watchers pork tenderloin

    I'm always looking for different ways to make Pork Tenderloin so I decided to give this recipe from Weight Watchers a shot.

    This recipe is not terribly involved but does use ingredients that you may not have on hand like the dried apricots and possibly the cranberry sauce if you are going to make this recipe "off-season".

    💭 Weight Watchers Disclaimer

    I have personally never subscribed to Weight Watchers but have several family members that have over the years. This recipe comes from one of their old recipe books. I'm including the "points" listed in the book for convenience but if this is important to you, please confirm directly with Weight Watchers.

    Weight Watchers Points for this recipe: 6 points per slice

    💭 Slow Cooker Tip

    Try to resist as much as possible the temptation to open the lid while it's cooking as the slow cooker loses heat. Just opening the lid to stir the contents can make the internal temperature drop by 10°F to 15°F.

    The cook times listed below should be considered approximate. Many factors come into play like the brand of slow cooker, size, ambient temperature, etc.

    Use a digital thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin. It will be ready when the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

      This weight watchers pork tenderloin was to die for. So tasty and with the cranberry mixture it just made it more flavourful. The best recipe I have made in a long time.
