Sweet Grilled Pork

I got this one out of my Parents magazine. My whole family really likes it and they say that the apricots are rich in beta-carotene.

1 lb. pork tenderloin

Salt and pepper

1/2 cup apricot preserves

2 tsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce

4 apricots, halved and pitted

2 tsp canola oil

1. Season pork with salt and pepper. Grill pork, covered, indirectly (I turn on 1/2 the grill and put it on the other half) over medium-high heat for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, mix preserves and soy sauce. Brush 2 Tbs. of it on pork. Cover and grill 5-10 minutes more, or until the pork is cooked through. Remove from grill; brush 2 more Tbs. apricot mixture over the pork. Cover with foil and let stand.

2. Brush apricots with oil and grill directly over medium heat for 2 minutes per side, or until slightly softened and browned. Slice pork and serve with remaining apricot mixture and grilled apricots on the side. Makes 4 servings.
