Pork Tenderloin With Orange Raspberry Butter

"This orange-raspberry butter can be used with other meats. I have brushed it over pork chops, steaks or even burgers hot off the grill..THIS IS BEST IF MADE A DAY OR TWO AHEAD OF USE TO MARRY THE FLAVORS. REFRIGERATE BUTTER UNTIL READY TO USE..BUT BE SURE TO BRING TO ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE USING"
