PORK LOIN ROAST WITH PEPPER JELLY GLAZE
Chef Frank Brigtsen, of Brigtsen's restaurant in New Orleans, makes homemade pepper jelly to glaze thick pork chops for Réveillon. He recommends two ways to simplify for the home cook: go for store-bought jelly and, instead of chops, a pork loin roast.

Steps:
- To marinate pork: Combine olive oil, wine, oregano, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper in a sealable plastic bag. Add the pork to the marinade. Refrigerate for least 1 hour or for up to 24 hours.
- When ready to continue, preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- To prepare glaze: Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, onion and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add salt and cumin; cook for 1 minute. Add broth, pepper jelly and vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Return the mixture to a boil and add cornstarch mixture; cook, whisking, until thickened, about 1 minute. Cover and remove from heat.
- To prepare pork: Remove the pork from the marinade (discard marinade) and season on all sides with seasoning blend. Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, flipping occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of the glaze over the pork and continue roasting, spooning 2 tablespoons glaze over the pork every 10 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145°F, 25 to 35 minutes more. Transfer the pork to a clean cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Slice the pork and serve with the remaining glaze.

PEPPER JELLY PORK ROAST: SWEET AND SPICY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 475 F. Line a baking pan with nonstick foil.
- Whisk together pepper jelly, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. (You can melt the jelly a bit in the microwave for about 15 to 20 seconds to make it easier to combine.)
- Sprinkle the underside of the pork loin roast with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Place the roast in the prepared pan fat-side up.
- Pour the pepper jelly mixture evenly over the top, then sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Bring the edges of the foil up to within 1 inch around the pork roast and crimp the corners so it stays in place.
- Place the pan in the oven and roast for 45 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 F and roast and additional 20 minutes. Turn off the oven, leaving the roast inside, and let it sit for 30 minutes.
- Slice into 1-inch-thick slabs to serve. Menu Suggestions A pork loin roast makes for a cozy fall or winter meal. Serve with roasted Brussels sprouts and potatoes au gratin. Or pair it with roasted sweet potatoes and parsnips. Like mashed potatoes? They go wonderfully with pork roast. Add in shredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheese and garlic for a new take on an old favorite and serve with steamed broccoli. Conventional wisdom says pork roast pairs best with a dry white wine. Try chenin blanc, pinot grigio, chardonnay or sauvignon blanc. Some like a medium-bodied red with pork loin roast since the meat is rich. Côtes du Rhône is a good choice if you're in the red camp. For dessert, bring on cherry, strawberry or blueberry cheesecake to continue the fruity theme. Leftover Ideas Unless you are having a crowd for dinner, you'll have a ton of pork roast left. Here are some ideas on how to use it.

DEEP-FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET AND SPICY RED PEPPER JELLY
Steps:
- For the pepper jelly: Combine the sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, roasted bell peppers and jalapeno. Blend using a food processor or immersion blender. Place the puree in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Add the pectin and continue to boil for 60 seconds, at which point add the frozen peppers to stop the cooking process. Pour the jelly into a metal container and chill in an ice bath for about 1 hour until it sets, or overnight in the refrigerator.
- For the pork chops: Using the toothy side of a meat tenderizer, pound the pork chops to about 1/2-inch thickness. Add the blackening seasoning, salt and pepper to the flour and mix thoroughly. Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour, dip in the buttermilk and then back into the flour (using one hand to work in the flour, and the other for dipping in the buttermilk). Allow to rest for at least a minute or so to allow the breader to set up.
- Pour the oil into a deep, heavy pot (cast iron is best), enough so that the pork chop has room to float, but there needs to be a few inches of clearance so that it doesn't overflow when you are frying. Heat the oil to 355 degrees F. Use a deep-fry thermometer to get the temperature right; too high and your food will burn on the outside before it is cooked on the inside, and too low your food will come out greasy and soggy.
- Gently the drop pork chops, 1 or 2 at a time, into the oil; don't crowd the pot. Fry until golden brown on the outside, about 7 minutes. Serve with the pepper jelly.
SPICY PEPPER JELLY-MARINATED GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN
Steps:
- Rinse the pork, pat dry, remove the silver skin (see Know-how, page 81), and trim any excess fat. Place in a shallow container or large resealable bag.
- Whisk together the pepper jelly, wine, orange zest and juice, vinegar, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork and turn to coat evenly. (Or, if using a bag, pour the marinade into the bag, seal, and shake to coat the pork.) Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Turn the pork several times to distribute the marinade evenly.
- When ready to cook the pork, prepare a hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill and let the coals burn to gray ash with a slight red glow. Keep the coals on one side of the grill to create areas of direct and indirect heat (see Know-how, page 151); if using a gas grill, heat just one side on medium.
- Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and season with salt and pepper. Place the pork on the hot grill directly over the coals and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning three times and basting often with the reserved marinade. Move the pork away from the coals, close the grill or cover the pork with foil, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, until an internal thermometer inserted in the tenderloin reads 145°F for medium (this is what I prefer) or 160°F for medium-well.
- Remove the pork from the grill and transfer to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve warm with additional pepper jelly on the side.
