Roast Pork Tenderloin with Apricot Glaze

I made a roast pork tenderloin with apricot glaze fur supper.  The recipe came from the America's Test Kitchen cookbook and it was very easy to follow.  I love their cookbooks!

The meat is browned in a skillet on all sides, and then I set it aside while I made the glaze.  The glaze is composed of dried apricots, apricot preserves, orange juice and lemon juice.  It is made in the same skillet.  I de-glazed the pan with the juices and scrapped up the bits left from the pork.  Then I added the preserves and apricots and it cooked for about 3 minutes.  Once it is ready, you pour the glaze over the meat and put it into the oven for about 15 minutes at 450 degrees.

The pork came out beautifully.  It was juicy, fragrant and flavourful.  The only thing is that the glaze was sweet, almost too sweet.  My husband solved the problem with a little dash of hot sauce.  If you like it sweet, leave it as is, if not, add some hot sauce for a wonderful pork experience.

Until next time!
