Tips:

  • To ensure that the pork loin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork by making a small incision into the center of the roast. If the juices run clear, the pork is done.
  • Let the pork loin rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • To make the cranberry-apple stuffing, be sure to use fresh cranberries and apples. This will give the stuffing the best flavor.
  • If you don't have time to make the stuffing from scratch, you can use a store-bought stuffing mix. Just be sure to add some fresh cranberries and apples to the mix for extra flavor.
  • Serve the pork loin with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. You can also serve it with a simple gravy made from the pan drippings.

Conclusion:

Pork loin with cranberry-apple stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The pork is juicy and flavorful, and the stuffing is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
