Steps:
- Remove the pork roast from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the rack on the lower middle section of the oven.
- Place the carrot halves on the bottom of a small roasting pan and set aside.
- Trim off any thick areas of fat from the roast. Make shallow slits about 1 inch apart in a crosshatch on the meat of the roast. Mix together the cinnamon, cloves and 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the roast and rub to coat. Place the roast on the carrots and add 1/2 cup water to the pan. Roast for 1 hour, adding another 1/2 cup water if the pan gets dry.
- Meanwhile, combine the pomegranate juice and thyme in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and reduce by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in the maple syrup and mustard and continue to reduce until slightly thickened, another 3 to 4 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remove and discard the thyme.
- Baste the meat with the pomegranate mixture and roast until the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees F, another 30 minutes. Remove the roast from the oven and turn the oven up to 450 degrees F.
- Baste the roast again with the pomegranate mixture. Return the roast to the hot oven for an additional 20 minutes, basting with the pomegranate sauce every 5 to 10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F and the roast is evenly glazed. Remove the roast to a platter to rest for 10 minutes. Add any juices from the pan to the sauce and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir to combine. Slice the roast and serve with the sauce on the side.

Steps:

Transfer pork with tongs to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour off and discard any fat from skillet, then add pomegranate juice and boil over medium-high heat until reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 3 minutes (if side of skillet begins to scorch, reduce heat to medium). Stir together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water and whisk into juice, then boil sauce until thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add vinegar to taste. Swirl in butter until incorporated. Pour sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and skim off any fat. Season with salt. Slice pork and serve with sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Generously season pork with salt and pepper; cook in skillet until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven, and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of tenderloin registers 150 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer pork to a platter (reserve skillet), and tent with aluminum foil.
- Carefully return skillet to stove. Add pomegranate juice, molasses, and currants to skillet, and bring to a boil over medium-high. Cook until sauce is thickened to a glaze, 5 to 6 minutes. (To test: Coat the back of a spoon with sauce, and run your finger through it to make a line; the glaze is ready when the line doesn't fill in.) To serve, thinly slice pork, and drizzle with glaze.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- If you don't have pomegranate molasses, you can make a substitute by simmering equal parts pomegranate juice and honey until thickened.
- For a more flavorful sauce, use a combination of pomegranate molasses, red wine vinegar, and balsamic vinegar.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Pork Tenderloin with Pomegranate Molasses is an easy and delicious way to prepare a flavorful and juicy pork dish.
