Spice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Apricot Glaze

I am always looking for good recipes to use for Pork Tenderloin.  There’s just something not too exciting about a pork tenderloin.  Well, tonight I stand corrected!  This recipe is really delicious and easy to prepare with the typical fridge ingredients.  I bet it would be even better on the barbeque! I served it with Cilantro Jasmine Rice & Steamed Broccoli kicked up with a tablespoon of garlic.  Enjoy!!
