Ingredients
  • 4 pound Boneless pork roast
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. 2
    Pat the boneless pork roast dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  3. 3
    Heat a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil.
  4. 4
    Sear the pork roast on all sides until deeply golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. 5
    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for approximately 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145ðF.
  6. 6
    While the pork roasts, combine cherries, sugar, and a splash of broth in a saucepan; simmer until thickened into a glaze.
  7. 7
    Stir toasted slivered almonds into the cherry glaze.
  8. 8
    Remove the pork from the oven and brush generously with the cherry-almond glaze.
  9. 9
    Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes to set the glaze, basting once more halfway through.
  10. 10
    Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
  11. 11
    Slice the roast and serve with the remaining glaze spooned over the top.
