Apricot Glazed Pork

Apricot Glazed Pork

1/2 cup apricot preserves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (3-pound) boneless pork loin, trimmed
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425°.
Add 1 tablespoon water to preserves and melt in microwave for a few seconds.
Combine salt, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper; rub evenly over pork (I doubled the spice rub in case you needed more). Place pork on a rack coated with cooking spray; place rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake at 425° for 30 minutes. Brush 1/4 cup preserves evenly over pork. Bake an additional 10 minutes. Brush remaining preserves evenly over pork. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until thermometer registers 155° (slightly pink). Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
*I usually put a cup or two of chicken broth in the roasting pan. I think it helps keep the pork moist and also makes a really good sauce to pour over the pork.
