Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup cranberry juice
1/3 cup red currant jelly
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Combine the cranberry juice, jelly and mustard in a medium skillet over medium-high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove 3 tablespoons of the glaze and set aside for brushing. Stir the cranberries into the remaining glaze; set aside for drizzling.
  • Meanwhile, rub the pork with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Place on the prepared baking sheet and roast, turning once, 15 minutes. Remove the pork from the oven and brush all over with the reserved 3 tablespoons glaze. Continue to roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 145 degrees F, 5 to 10 more minutes. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice and drizzle with the cranberry glaze.

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.

  • Sear the pork tenderloin before baking: Searing the pork tenderloin before baking will help to create a delicious crust and lock in the juices. To sear the pork tenderloin, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to the correct temperature: The internal temperature of the pork tenderloin should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 150 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 160 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest before slicing: Allowing the pork tenderloin to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing will help to redistribute the juices and make the meat more tender.
