Rosemary Apricot Pork Tenderloin

There aren't many pork tenderloin recipes I pass on.  I always have one tenderloin in the freezer, we usually make it once a week.  There are just so many recipes you can try and we always end up with a good amount of leftovers.  This recipe looked perfect for a summer dinner.  It was easy to make and was really good.  The pork was full of flavor, I couldn't get enough of the apricot sauce.  Hubs also gave it two thumbs up and asked for it to be added to our monthly rotation.  Enjoy!
