What You'll Need:
Cooking spray
1/4 cup apricot preserves (or apricot fruit spread)
2 Tbsp country-style Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp dried rosemary, chopped
2 pork tenderloins, 1 lb each

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Spritz a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Combine preserves, mustard, and rosemary in a small bowl.
3. Place tenderloins on baking sheet (leave about 2 inches of space between them); brush each with the apricot mixture.

5. Remove from oven, and let stand 5 minutes before slicing diagonally.

Ideas for picky eaters: Use the apricot glaze on baked chicken breasts or thighs -- or leave a section of pork naked. Simplify the pasta with good old butter.
