Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
Pat the boneless pork roast dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
-
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil.
-
Sear the pork roast on all sides until deeply golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for approximately 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145ðF.
-
While the pork roasts, combine cherries, sugar, and a splash of broth in a saucepan; simmer until thickened into a glaze.
-
Stir toasted slivered almonds into the cherry glaze.
-
Remove the pork from the oven and brush generously with the cherry-almond glaze.
-
Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes to set the glaze, basting once more halfway through.
-
Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
-
Slice the roast and serve with the remaining glaze spooned over the top.
