Very simple and delicious. I forgot to line the baking pan with foil, and as I write this, the pan is still soaking in my kitchen sink. If you make this, don't forget this simple step that will save you some aggravation!

I bake the pork loin at 325° and cover to keep moisture in, then add sauce for last 10 minutes

I thought this was great. I love the flavor the spice and preserve combination gave. I used a 5 1/2lb pork and cooked for 1.5 hours. 45 min then I added preserves then 15 minutes later.

We really enjoyed this quick and easy to make recipe. The pork was perfectly cooked. We enjoyed the textures and the flavors very much. It was simply delicious. I did cook the pork longer than stated. The apricot makes a lovely glaze for the lightly seasoned pork. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Made for Name that Ingredient Tag Game 2014.
