Ingredients:
3 pork tenderloins, about 1 lb. each
Rub
4 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1 cup apricot preserves
1 tsp. minced ginger

Directions: Turn unit to High and insert rack. Rinse and dry the tenderloins. Trim them of any silver skin. Combine the rub ingredients in a bowl and rub evenly over the tenderloins. Place tenderloins on rack in unit and cook for 1 hour. In a small saucepan, combine the ingredients of the glaze. Bring to a simmer and reduce to thicken, about 10 minutes.
