Pork Tenderloin with Apricot Glaze

2 pork tenderloins, about 1 3/4 pounds to 2 pounds total
3/4 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard, divided
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. For glaze, in blender container combine preserves, soy sauce, vinegar, 1 tablespoon mustard, ginger, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
2. Brush pork tenderloins with remaining tablespoon of mustard. Place tenderloins in shallow pan and roast in a 450 degree F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until internal temperature (measured with a meat thermometer) registers 155 degrees F. Brush tenderloins with glaze a couple of times during roasting, and again at end. Discard remaining glaze. Slice to serve.
