Roast Pork Tenderloin with Apricot Brandy Glaze

Roast Pork Tenderloin with Apricot Brandy Glaze

Ingredients:

Olive oil
1 Pork tenderloin

For the rub:
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp ground thyme
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

For the glaze:
1/2 cup apricot jam
2 tbsp brandy
1 tbsp dry mustard
2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425.
2. Mix all the spices and rub the pork.
3. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sear each side of the pork.
4. Cook uncovered for 35 minutes (depends on the size of your tenderloin). We like ours to be medium, and the internal temperature to 150F.
5. While the pork is cooking, over low heat, heat up the jam until it's liquid (took about 15 minutes).
6. Add the brandy, mustard and lemon juice and whisk very often. It thickens right away.
7. When the pork is done, brush the glaze all over and return it to the oven for 5 minutes.
8. Serve the rest of the glaze as a dipping sauce.
