Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

2 pounds pork tenderloin
¼ 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
¼ cup dry sherry

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Spread butter all over the pork tenderloin. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Combine garlic powder, apricot preserves, honey, and sherry in a separate bowl.
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the pork from the oven and brush with the apricot sauce. Return the pork to the oven. Continue roasting, basting occasionally with the remaining sauce, until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Spanish Garlic Shrimp (Gambas al Ajillo)

Gambas al ajillo are on every Spanish restaurant menu — for good reason! It's a dish of shrimp cloaked in garlic-infused olive oil with smoky hints of paprika and a touch of sweetness from sherry. Make sure you have all your ingredients together before you head to the stove since, start to finish, this cooks in mere minutes. It's great for a tapas party since you can prep everything ahead of time. Just spoon the shrimp and sauce over toasted bread and sprinkle more cayenne and parsley on top to enjoy.

The best legacy she left was to teach her sons how to do it, and in turn, they would teach their wives and then the next generation. This has been passed down, and today, it is still appreciated as the Mintz family gefilte fish.
