Apricot Mustard Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Do you believe we were out of pork roasts??  Crazy, right?  Seriously, I could see using this glaze on a regular pork roast; not just a tenderloin.  The apricots have been delicious!

1 1/2 tbsp. canola oil, divided
2 tbsp. minced shallots
1/2 tsp. finely chopped rosemary
1/3 C. light brown sugar
2 tbsp. cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
4 medium ripe apricots, pitted and chopped
1 1lb. pork tenderloin
1/4 tsp. black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat.  Heat 1 1/2 tsp. oil; swirl to coat.  Add shallots and rosemary; cook 1 minute or until lightly golden.  Add brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, 1/4 tsp. Salt, and apricots; cook 12 minutes or until apricots are broken down and mixture is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.  Place 3 tbsp. apricot mixture in a small bowl, set aside.

Heat a large oven proof skillet over medium high heat.  Add remaining 1 tbsp. oil to pan; swirl to coat.  Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper.  Add pork to pan; cook 6 minutes, turning to brown on all sides.  Brush pork with remaining apricot mixture.  Place pan in oven; bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.  Turn pork; brush with remaining apricot mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes or until thermometer inserted registers 145 degrees.  Place pork on a cutting board to rest for 5-10 minutes.  Serve with remaining apricot mixture.
