"Prepare the meat and sauce separately," Victoria says, "and then warm them together just before the guests arrive."
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°. Remove silver skin from tenderloin, leaving a thin layer of fat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Cook pork in 6 tsp. hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer pork to a lightly greased jelly-roll or roasting pan, reserving drippings in skillet.
Step 2
Bake pork at 425° for 18 to 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 150°. Remove from oven; cover and let stand 10 minutes or until thermometer registers 155°.
Step 3
Meanwhile, add remaining 1 tsp. oil to hot drippings in skillet. Add apricots and next 4 ingredients, and sauté over medium-high heat 3 minutes or until pine nuts are toasted and fragrant. Add port wine and next 2 ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, and simmer 5 minutes or until mixture slightly thickens. Stir in broth, and simmer 15 minutes or until fruit is tender. Serve with pork.

I have made this recipe 3 times now and each time everyone raves about it!! This reminds me of fall and is beautiful for cool weather and having the house warm up.

Good, but needs a little something. Maybe just a little heat. Might throw in a chili or some pepper flakes if i make it again. Substituted canned peaches and pomegranate molasses (guesstimated the proportion), which worked fine.

I just had a special dinner for several family members and this was a hit with everyone. It was quick, easy and taste was amazing. I had to cook mine a little longer than suggested to get it up to the right temperature on my thermometer.
