MEDALLIONS OF PORK WITH FRESH
APRICOTS AND MINT GLACE'
 
18 (1 1/2 oz.) pork tenderloin medallions, skinned and fat removed
9 ripe apricots
1 tbsp. fresh copped rosemary
6 oz. whipping cream
3 egg yolks
1 oz. mint jelly
10 mint leaves--chopped

Flatten medallions slightly and season with salt, pepper and rosemary. Put apricots into boiling water for 15 seconds, then into ice water. Peel the apricots, cut in half and discard the seed. Mix the egg yolk with the mint jelly and chopped mint leaves. Add just a touch of salt and pepper. Whip heavy cream until it peaks and fold in egg yolk mixture. Keep refrigerated until needed.

Saute pork medallions over high heat until cooked to desired doneness. Place apricots in saute' pan and cook until heated through. Place three medallions of pork on each plate and top with apricot halves. Cover apricots with mint sauce and place under broiler until just browned. Fresh peaches cut down to size or slices of papaya may also be used.

Note: pork tenderloin can be substituted with any other meat or poultry.
