Note

The original recipe listed a 1-pound roast for 8 servings, which is insufficient. A 2 to 2.5-pound roast is recommended for this yield.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked safely but remains juicy. Avoid overcooking.

If you prefer a thicker glaze, add an extra tablespoon of marmalade.

Letting the meat rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in moister slices.
