Recipe information

  • Total Time

    30 min

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup grainy mustard
1/2 cup apricot jam
1 garlic clove, forced through a garlic press
2 small pork tenderloins (1 1/2 to 2 pounds total)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound fresh apricots, quartered and pitted

Special Equipment

an instant-read thermometer

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat broiler and line rack of a broiler pan with foil.

    Step 2

    Whisk together mustard and jam in a small bowl. Whisk together 1/3 cup mustard mixture with garlic in a large bowl.

    Step 3

    Pat pork dry, then sprinkle all over with teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat pork with 2 tablespoons mustard-garlic mixture, then arrange without crowding on broiler pan.

    Step 4

    Toss apricots and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper with remaining mustard-garlic mixture. Arrange apricots in 1 layer around pork (including space between tenderloins) and broil 5 to 6 inches from heat, turning pork over once, until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of each tenderloin registers 145°F and apricots are softened, about 15 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board (leave apricots on pan) and let stand 5 minutes.

    Step 5

    Cut pork crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and transfer to a platter. Spoon apricots over pork and serve remaining mustard-jam mixture on the side (sweeten with additional jam if desired).
