  • 1/2 cup peach or apricot preserves
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2
    Cut pork tenderloin lengthwise almost but not completely through to other long side. Open tenderloin to lay flat; sprinkle with salt. Spread 1 tablespoon preserves mixture on each side of pork.
  • 3
    Place pork on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until pork has slight blush of pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160°F. Microwave remaining preserves mixture on High 30 to 45 seconds or until warm. Cut pork into 1/4-inch-thick slices; serve with warm preserves mixture.

  • This pork is “butterflied” which means it is cut almost through and opened flat like a book. The cut pork forms a thin layer which cooks quickly.
