Provided by Joanna Cismaru

Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 pound pork loin
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon thyme (dried)
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (ground)
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 cups cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F degrees and arrange the rack in the middle of the oven.
  • Drizzle the olive oil all over the pork loin. Season with thyme, nutmeg, allspice, salt and pepper on all sides evenly.
  • Heat a large 12 inch cast iron pan with a little bit of olive oil, then brown the pork on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Sear until it's a deep golden brown and easily releases from the pan. Remove from heat.
  • Drizzle honey on all sides of the pork loin then grate some orange zest over it.
  • Cover with aluminum foil, transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and finish roasting for another 30 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork reads anywhere from 145 to 160 F degrees.
  • Meanwhile prepare the cranberry sauce. I used my own cranberry sauce recipe, however, store bought cranberry sauce will work as well.
  • Transfer the pork roast to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 15 to 20 minutes before slicing into it.
  • Slice then top with cranberry sauce before serving it.

DAD'S BASIC MOIST PORK ROAST



Dad's Basic Moist Pork Roast image

This is the best and most basic way to ensure a juicy, perfectly-cooked pork roast every time. This recipe really requires a good thermometer -- either a $10 instant-read type or, even better, the type that pierces the meat and stays in place while connected to an outside-the-oven monitor. If you can swing that, then try your favorite marinade or rub on this recipe. Use your imagination on the rubs and marinades, but ensure you bring your roast directly from the fridge to the roasting pan -- Dad's recipe works best that way.

SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST



Slow Cooker Pork Roast image

I tried this cut of meat when it was on sale, and for lack of any other ideas I took suggestions from the back of the label, with a few tweaks (like making gravy). This is a very popular dish at our house, and it could not be easier! Instead of rubbing the roast with the onion soup mix and then adding the cranberry sauce, you can also just mix the onion soup mix with the cranberry sauce and pour the whole mixture over the roast.

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.

SLOW COOKER CRANBERRY PORK



Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork image

Sweet, tangy and easy. The sauce is also good with chicken instead of pork. Try serving with rice and onion rings.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Time 4h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (16 ounce) can cranberry sauce
⅓ cup French salad dressing
1 onion, sliced
1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the cranberry sauce, salad dressing, and onion. Place pork in a slow cooker, and cover with the sauce mixture.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 374.5 calories, Carbohydrate 32.9 g, Cholesterol 79.6 mg, Fat 15.1 g, Fiber 1.1 g, Protein 26.8 g, SaturatedFat 3.6 g, Sodium 184.1 mg, Sugar 31.2 g

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork roast. A pork shoulder or pork butt roast is best for this recipe because it is a flavorful and forgiving cut of meat. It will also hold up well to the long cooking time.
  • Sear the pork roast before roasting. Searing the pork roast will help to lock in the juices and flavor. To sear the pork roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork roast and brown it on all sides.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade will help to infuse the pork roast with flavor. For this recipe, we use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. You can also add other spices or herbs to the marinade, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
  • Roast the pork roast low and slow. The key to a moist and tender pork roast is to cook it low and slow. Roast the pork roast at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-4 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork roast rest before serving. Once the pork roast is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork roast.

Conclusion:

This moist cranberry pork roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. The pork roast is cooked in a flavorful marinade and then roasted until it is tender and juicy. The cranberry sauce is the perfect complement to the pork roast, and it adds a touch of sweetness and tartness. Serve the pork roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dishes.
