Apricot-Ginger Pork Tenderloin

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Ground red pepper
2		Well-trimmed pork tenderloins - (3/4 to 1 lb ea)
		Sauce
1/2 cup	118ml	Apricot preserves
1 tablespoon	15ml	Finely-chopped crystallized ginger
1 tablespoon	15ml	Sherry vinegar
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Dried thyme

Recipe Instructions

In a small bowl, combine oregano, salt, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper. Rub mixture on all sides of pork tenderloins, pressing it into meat surface.

Place tenderloins in center of cooking grate. Grill 25 to 30 minutes for medium (160 degrees) and centers are still slightly pink, turning occasionally throughout grilling time to brown them evenly.

Meanwhile, make Sauce: In small saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients. Cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes until jelly is melted and sauce is hot. Remove from heat and keep warm.  Remove tenderloins from grill. Carve into slices and serve with sauce.

Hints

Beer Recommendation: Just about any American lager will cruise alongside this dish, although the microbrews will taste best.

Wine Recommendation: The pork calls for a white, but the apricot and ginger call for spice; a Gewürztraminer, particularly one from the Alsace region of France, answers both calls.
