Quick Savory Cranberry Glazed Pork Loin Roast
This dish is perfect for a family meal or when you have guests over. The sweet and tangy glaze makes the pork incredibly juicy and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 1 (3 to 4 pound) pork loin roast
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh rosemary or thyme, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Place the pork loin roast in a roasting pan. Score the top of the roast with a sharp knife and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the cranberry glaze generously over the pork loin, ensuring that it is well coated.
- Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the pan juices halfway through cooking.
- Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful roast.
- Slice the pork loin and serve it drizzled with the remaining glaze. Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme, if desired.
