APRICOT GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN
Adapted from a Robin Miller "Quick Fix" recipe. On her show, Robin used a whole jar of jam, but I prefer less jam. If you like a thicker sauce, you may wish to add some cornstarch at the end, but I liked it without it. To help make this healthier for my family, I did use jam sweetened with Splenda and low sodium soy sauce and we really liked it. Serve with rice and snap peas or green beans. There will be a lot of extra sauce in the pan, I served this on the side in a gravy boat for those who wished to dip.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add pork, season lightly on one side, and sear about 2 minutes per side, until nearly cooked through.
- Add apricot preserves, tamari sauce and ginger and bring to a simmer.
- Simmer 5-10 minutes, until pork is cooked through and sauce reduces (if you like thicker sauce, remove pork once it is fully cooked to a covered dish and then keep cooking sauce, raising the temp a bit higher, until it has reduced to your liking, or add some cornstarch and cook till thick).
Tips:
- Choose the right pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight and has a uniform thickness.
- Trim the pork tenderloin: Remove any excess fat or silverskin from the tenderloin.
- Season the pork tenderloin: Season the tenderloin with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs.
- Sear the pork tenderloin: Sear the tenderloin in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides.
- Glaze the pork tenderloin: Brush the tenderloin with apricot glaze and then bake it in the oven until it is cooked through.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest: Let the tenderloin rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
