Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless pork loin roast
- 1 can (14 oz) whole cranberry sauce
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the pork loin roast with salt and black pepper, then sear it on all sides in the hot skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and dried thyme until well combined.
Place the seared pork roast in a roasting pan or oven-safe dish.
Pour the cranberry-barbecue mixture over the pork roast, ensuring it is fully coated.
Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil to lock in moisture.
Bake the roast in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the roast with the cranberry-barbecue sauce every 30 minutes for a more flavorful glaze.
Once cooked, remove the foil and let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the pork roast with the cranberry-barbecue sauce drizzled on top or on the side, along with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
