Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin was one of the first recipes that got me very interested in food. I used to make it a lot when I first started cooking, but I hadn’t made it in a while.

The sauce is what is so great about this. Apricot preserves and Dijon mustard – so yummy! I love to make extra sauce, as I really like to dip the meat into it and I definitely recommend it to you if you like juicy meal!

Serves 4

  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 12 oz piece). You should trim off excess fat
