FC Day 15 - Apricot-Glazed Pork Tenderloin

This dish from Robin Miller @ the Food Network is one of my few stand-by favorites that is a fairly frequent repeat. K really likes it, it's his favorite pork tenderloin dish by far. I've made a few modifications from time-to-time out of necessity (using ground ginger, or sushi ginger because I couldn't find pickled ginger at the store, for example), but I pretty much stick to this one as-is. I can't think of anything to substitute or add that would make it any better. Can you?



  I served this with garlic & herb roasted potatoes and steamed corn. Yum yum yum.
