List of Ingredients

1 (12-oz.) pork tenderloin
Salt, freshly ground pepper
Apricot Glaze (recipe follows)
4 apricots, halved (fresh or canned)

APRICOT GLAZE:
6 tbsp. apricot preserves
2 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp. rum
3 tbsp. prepared Dijon mustard
Salt, freshly ground pepper



Recipe

Preheat grill. Oil grill rack.

Season pork with salt and pepper to taste. Place pork on grill and grill 10 minutes. Brush generously with glaze. Place apricots, cut-side up, on grill. Brush with glaze.

Grill pork, brushing occasionally with glaze, 15 minutes longer until meat is no longer red-pink in center. Apricots should be soft, but not mushy. If necessary, remove fruit from grill before pork is done.

To serve, cut pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on platter with apricots. Serve any remaining sauce on the side.

Makes 2 servings

APRICOT GLAZE:
Combine preserves, honey, rum, mustard and salt and pepper to taste in saucepan. Simmer over low heat until preserves melt and mixture blends together, about 3 minutes.

Makes about 3/4 cup.
