Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin

• 1 pork tenderloin (or 2 smaller ones) approx 1.5 lbs
• 10 slices of bacon
• Garlic Pepper
• Salt
• 1 cup (give or take) apricot preserves

Prepare the pork tenderloin by slicing it into 2 pieces lengthwise (if using one large one). Sprinkle liberally with salt and garlic pepper. Wrap in bacon, making sure the ends of the bacon are tucked under. Place in a pan or casserole dish that is lined with Release Foil or lined with regular foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cook 30 to 35 minutes. Spoon the apricot preserves over the top and bake 15-20 more minutes. Remove from oven and let rest before cutting and serving. Serve with Apricot Sauce, below.

Apricot Sauce:

• 2/3 cup Apricot preserves
  
• 4 Tbsp butter
  
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 3 Tbsp Water
• 1 tsp Garlic Pepper

Combine all of the ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a low boil. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Serve with the tenderloin.

Serves 5-6.
