grilled pork tenderloin recipes

This is a tantalizing, easy-to-prepare dish. The sweetness of the

apricot glaze is a perfect complement to the tender pork, which makes

a nice centerpiece to showcase the vibrant vegetable and summer

salads.

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients:

Glaze:

1 cup apricot preserves

2/3 cup apricot juice

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons white vinegar

2 tablespoons yellow mustard

Tenderloins:

two 1 1/2 pound pork tenderloins

coarse salt and white pepper for seasoning

1/4 cup whole-grain mustard

vegetable oil for brushing the grate

Preparation:

Make the Glaze:

Combine the apricot preserves, apricot juice, honey and vinegar in a

heavy bottomed saucepan. Bring to a low boil over medium heat, then

reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring often, until

the mixture is thick and bubbling, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat,

whisk in the mustard and set aside.

Prepare the Tenderloins:

Season the tenderloins with coarse salt and white pepper; rub all over

with the mustard. Brush the grate liberally with oil. Grill the

tenderloins indirectly over medium heat, turning once and brushing

often with the glaze until the center is barely pink and reaches an

internal temperature of 150 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes.

Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and let rest at room temperature

for 5 minutes before slicing.
