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!
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 12 oz piece). You should trim off excess fat
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
