This flavorful main course is a great company offering. The tenderloin tastes wonderful and looks so pretty when it's sliced to reveal a golden apricot center. In the 15 years I've been using this recipe, it has never failed me.

The pork was a little dry, but I think that was because I overcooked it. I'll be sure to watch the cooking time more closely next time.
