Description

This Cranberry-Glazed Roast Pork is a showstopper that balances the richness of slow-roasted meat with the bright acidity of cranberries and orange juice. The boneless pork roast becomes tender and juicy, while the glaze offers a perfect sweet-tart contrast that cuts through the fat. Infused with warm spices like ginger and cinnamon, this dish brings a festive flair to any table. It is an excellent choice for holiday gatherings, Sunday suppers, or when you want to impress guests with a dish that looks elegant but is surprisingly simple to prepare. Serve with roasted root vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC).
  2. Season the boneless pork roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  3. Place the roast on a rack set inside a roasting pan.
  4. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 1 hour.
  5. While the pork roasts, combine 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 3/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 tsp ground ginger, and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon in a stainless steel saucepan.
  6. Heat the sauce mixture over medium heat until it comes to a boil, stirring frequently.
  7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside.
  8. After the first hour of roasting, begin basting the pork with the cranberry sauce mixture every 15 minutes.
  9. Continue roasting and basting until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads 175ðF (79ðC), which should take an additional 1.5 to 2 hours.
  10. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  11. Slice the pork thinly and serve with the remaining cranberry glaze spooned over the top.
