Ingredients

2 pounds pork tenderloin
0.25 cup softened butter
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon ground thyme
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 (18 ounce) jar apricot preserves
2 tablespoons honey, or to taste
0.25 cup dry sherry

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rub butter all over the pork tenderloin, then season generously with salt, pepper, and thyme. In a separate bowl, mix together garlic powder, apricot preserves, honey, and sherry to create the apricot glaze.
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Take the pork out of the oven and brush it with the prepared apricot sauce. Return the pork to the oven and continue roasting, basting with the remaining sauce occasionally, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
