Servings: persons

1 lb pork tenderloin (other cuts would work as well)
1 medium sweet onion
5 -6 whole mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
parsley
1 1/2 cups chopped cantaloupes
Marinade
champagne vinegar
fruit juice (I used apple berry, but any kind would do)
sugar
garlic salt
powdered ginger
fresh parsley
fresh basil

1
Pour vinegar and juice in equal amounts into shallow bowl--enough to cover tenderloin pieces.
2
Add sugar and spices to taste. (I used about 1tbsp of each, remember it has to be pretty strong since it's a marinade)
3
Marinate meat for at least one hour.
4
Heat oil in skillet on med heat, add onions, sautee about four minutes. Add sliced mushrooms, brown.
5
Raise heat, push onions and mushrooms to sides, add pork and sear each side.
6
Add cantaloupe, reduce heat to med-low and cover.
7
Simmer till pork is cooked through (I had really thick pieces and it took about twenty minutes!), stirring occasionally to keep the other ingredients from sticking.
8
TO make the dipping sauce, add about 1/2 cup canteloupe pieces to marinade and simmer about ten minute
9
This meal is best with a light red wine like a Shiraz. We used a fruity white and it didn't have the body we wanted to compliment the ginger flavor.
