"My physical therapist shared this recipe with me and said it was completely foolproof," says Juanita Moore of Dana Point, California. "She was right. It's a real winner. I serve it with sauteed green beans."

Ingredients:
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 pork tenderloin (3/4 pound)
• 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
•
• SAUCE:
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon reduced-fat butter
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
• 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon diced crystallized ginger

Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cinnamon, pepper, salt and allspice. Rub over pork. In a large skillet, brown pork in oil on all sides.

2. Transfer to an 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add fresh ginger; saute 1-2 minutes longer. Stir in the broth, syrup and candied ginger. Bring to a boil; cook until sauce is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Pour over pork.

4. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
