Roasted Pork With Dried Cherries image

A beautiful presentation. A beautiful pairing. I combined several recipes to come up with this for our Easter dinner this year. It was really good, but I am sure you all can help me tweak this recipe until it is just right.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 -3 lbs pork loin roast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (16 ounce) can unsweetened tart red cherries
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup dried cherries
1 teaspoon mustard
4 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Mix the salt, sage, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the roast.
  • Roast, fat side up, on a rack at 325 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes per pound or until a meat thermometer registers 170 degrees.
  • Allow to set for 15 to 20 minutes while you prepare the sauce.
  • Sauce: Whisk the liquid from the cherries into the meat drippings in the roasting pan over medium heat. (You may remove some of the fat first, if desired.) Add the vinegar, brown sugar, dried cherries, and mustard. Cook over medium heat. Meantime, whir the canned cherries in your food processor until you have a cherry sauce similar to applesauce. Add these to the pan with the cornstarch. Cook until slightly thickened.
  • Slice the roast and spoon the sauce down the middle of the slices.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The pork was tender and the sauce was flavorful. However, I would have liked the pork to be a bit more crispy.

I'm not a big fan of dried cherries, so I used dried cranberries instead. The dish still turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork. I usually make a double batch of the sauce and freeze it for later.

The pork was a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the pork for a shorter amount of time or using a different cooking method.

This dish is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less dried cherries or omitting them altogether.
