Chili Rubbed Pork Tenderloin With an Apricot Ginger Glaze

2 pork tenderloins (about 2 pounds total), trimmed
1/4 cup chili power
1/4 cup garlic powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon course black pepper
1 1/2 cups apricot preserves
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

 

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Juice of 1 lime

1. Place the chili powder, garlic powder #1, sugar and salt in a jar; shake to blend. Rub about 1/4 of spice mixture onto pork tenderloins. The remaining spice mixture can be stored for later use. Cover tenderloins and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.
2. Prior to grilling, melt apricot preserves in saucepan over medium heat. Remove pan from the heat and stir in remaining glaze ingredients (barbecue sauce, ginger, garlic powder #2, hot sauce, cilantro and lime juice). Place half of the glaze in a serving bowl and hold for service.
3. Prepare grill at medium-high heat. Grill pork tenderloins for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches between 155 to160 degrees.
4. When approximately 4 minutes of cook time remains, brush the pork tenderloins with the apricot glaze remaining in the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, turn the pork tenderloins and brush glaze on other side. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Remove pork from the grill and let set for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with reserved glaze.
