Instructions
In a large nonstick skillet, brown pork in oil for 3-4 minutes on each side.
In the same skillet, saute the onion, garlic and sugar until onion is caramelized and tender. Stir in the apple juice, cranberry juice, cranberries, mustard and rosemary. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes or until sauce is reduced by half.
Return pork to pan; heat through.
Sprinkle with additional cranberries and rosemary if desired.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Malbec, Sangiovese
Pork Medallions works really well with Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Sangiovese. Pinot noir's light body is great for lean cuts, medium bodied sangiovese complement meaty sauces, stews, and other multi-ingredient dishes, and full-bodied tannic malbec pairs with fatty cuts and barbecue. One wine you could try is Hartford Court Russian River Pinot Noir ( half-bottle). It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 22 dollars.

Aromas of black cherry, allspice, black currant and loam are followed by flavors of wild raspberries, dark berries and a crushed rock minerality. The dense entry is followed by a sweet and juicy mouth feel, supported by acidity, silky tannins and a subtle earthy finish.
