What You'll Need

3 cups watermelon chunks
6 apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
3 cups apple juice
1 cup water

What to Do

In a soup pot, combine watermelon, apples, apple juice, water, honey, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 50 to 60 minutes, or until liquid has evaporated and sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat a 9" x 13" baking dish with cooking spray. Place pork in baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients; mix well then rub evenly over entire pork tenderloins.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or to desired doneness. Slice and serve with the watermelon compote.
