Pork Tenderloin with Apricot Sauce

1 1/2 lbs. pork tenderloin

Sauce:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup dry vermouth
1/4 cup tarragon vinegar
3/4 cup apricot preserves
2 Tbs. soy sauce
2 tsp. dry mustard
2 tsp. regular mustard
1 medium onion, diced
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper

Yields: 4 Servings

Preparation:
Mix sauce ingredients in a blender, processing until not quite smooth. Rub tenderloins with a small amount of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Tie the tails of the tenderloins back on themselves, with cooking twine, for more even cooking. Place pork in a single layer, ina baking pan and bake at 350 for 1/2 hour. Baste with apricot sauce, a few times during the last 30 minutes of baking before tenderloin is done. allow sauce to brown on tip of the meat. Make sure to use enough sauce to prevent it from burning on bottom of pan. Total bake time is 1 hour.
