QUICK SAVORY CRANBERRY GLAZED PORK LOIN ROAST



Quick Savory Cranberry Glazed Pork Loin Roast image

This simple, 1-hour roast is our favorite Christmas dish and voted most likely to be served if the President were to drop in for dinner- LOL! I love serving this entree because it causes me NO stress and everyone raves over it. While the pork is roasting, make another batch of the cranberry glaze to serve in a gravy boat alongside the sliced pork roast. For food safety, the new batch should not be prepared in same pan as the first if you have been basting directly out of the saucepan. If you basted out of another dish, you can use the same pan.

1 cup chicken flavored dry stuffing mix
½ cup water
1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast
1 cup chopped apple

Steps:

Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Place the pork loin between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch.

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 lean loin pork chops, about 1 1/2 pounds
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 navel orange, about 1/2 pound
1 1/2 cups raw cranberries
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Peel the orange and cut it crosswise into 4 slices of equal thickness. Cut each slice into 8 equal-size pieces. Put the cranberries and orange pieces into the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend well but coarsely. There should be about 1 1/2 cups.

  • Transfer the chops to a warm serving platter and pour off the fat from the skillet.
