Cranberry Apple Glazed Pork
Glazed with a seasonal cranberry apple sauce, this lean pork roast makes an ideal holiday centerpiece. Serve with roasted vegetables and low fat mashed potatoes or with steamed green beans and wild rice.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 tsp ground sage
- 1/2 tsp ground thyme
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 3-pound boneless top-loin pork roast, trimmed
- 1 16-ounce can cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup apple cider
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Combine herbs and seasonings to make a rub. Sprinkle mixture over all sides of the meat. Place pork in roasting pan and roast for 1 hour.
Combine cranberry sauce and apple cider in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened. Spoon 1/2 a cup of the sauce over the meat to glaze. Return meat to the oven and roast for a further 30-40 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 155 degrees. Remove pork from the oven and cover with foil. Let stand for 15-20 minutes. The meat will continue to cook and reach a safe 160 degrees while it rests. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.
Serves 10-12
