    cooking spray

Sprinkle pork lightly with salt and pepper. Coat a large nonstick skillet with oil. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork.

Cook for about 6 minutes, until pork is slightly pink in center and juices run clear.

Transfer to a platter and cover with foil.

In a small bowl stir together juice, mustard, and cornstarch. Add to same skillet. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.

Add cherries; cook and stir for about 4 more minutes.

    Very Good
    Very good! I used dried cherries as I didn't have fresh on hand, and it still turned out good. - 2/18/13
