Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 to 25 minutes
Total Time: 25 to 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 - 2 pounds pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (I use Tony Chachere’s)
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 cup apricot preserves
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Here’s how to make it:

1. Combine the Cajun seasoning and brown sugar.
2. In another bowl, combine apricot preserves and Dijon mustard.
3. Put the tenderloin in a baking pan lined with foil (makes cleanup easier) and sprinkle with salt. Rub the brown sugar mixture all over the meat.
4. Cook in a preheated 400-degree F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, brushing often with the apricot-Dijon mixture, until it reaches 140 degrees F.
