Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork loin roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 cup Cranberry sauce (whole berry)
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Chicken stock
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the pork loin roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork roast on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the pork roast with chopped rosemary and thyme.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberry sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chicken stock. Stir until the mixture is smooth and just begins to simmer, about 3-5 minutes.
Pour half of the cranberry glaze over the pork roast, ensuring it is evenly coated. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting.
Transfer the skillet or roasting pan to the preheated oven. Roast the pork for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Every 20 minutes, baste the pork with additional cranberry glaze to maintain a moist and flavorful crust.
Once cooked, remove the pork roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Serve slices of the pork roast drizzled with any remaining cranberry glaze. Enjoy!
