Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup apricot preserves
  • 3 tablespoons sherry or reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

  1. Place pork on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Combine the oil, salt and pepper; rub over pork.
  2. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; spoon over pork. Bake 10-17 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 145°, basting occasionally with pan juices. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
