Recipe for grilled pork with apricot mustard glaze

At some point in the distant past, people mastered fire and learned the benefits of cooking food. Then they discovered how to barbeque pork and were even more amazed.

This pork recipe combines the gifts of the grill with the next best thing to happen to pork: sweetness.

Recipe ingredients:

2 whole boneless pork tenderloins (about 1-1/2 pounds)

Salt and pepper to taste

6 firm ripe apricots

1/3 cup apricot preserves

1/2 cup honey

2 Tablespoons dry sherry

1 Tablespoon maple syrup

1/3 cup Dijon mustard

6 sprigs fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon salt

Black pepper

Start by making the apricot mustard glaze. Blend the apricot preserves, honey, sherry, maple syrup, mustard, parsley, and salt until smooth. Then taste and season with black pepper to suit yourself.

Now heat your grill to a high temperature. Season your pork with salt and pepper and cook on the grill for 10 minutes. Then brush the meat with the apricot mustard glaze and turn the meat. Take the fresh apricot halves and brush them with the glaze on their cut sides. Place the apricots cut side down on the grill around the pork. Continue to grill the pork for another 10 minutes. Turn the meat a couple times and keep brushing on more glaze. The apricots will soften as they cook and be slightly charred but not mushy.

Serve the pork by slicing it into thin medallions and arrange them on plates with apricots.
