Ingredients
- 3 lbs. boneless pork loin roast
- 1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup orange juice, divided
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 jar 8 ounces sweet orange marmalade
- 1/2 can 7 ounces whole cranberry sauce
- 1 red apple with peel, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF
- Prep the pork: pat dry with paper towels, rub it with olive oil, then season it with salt and pepper.
- Sear the pork loin, about 2 minutes on every side.
- To make the orange cranberry sauce: combine 1/2 cup orange juice, apple cider vinegar, orange marmalade, and cranberry sauce in a medium-sized bowl.
- Place the pork loin in a roasting pan and pour the sauce directly over it.
- Roast pork for 60-80 minutes at 375°F, or until the internal temperature reaches 140-145°F. (Baste in the orange juice mixture every 20 minutes)
- Remove the pork loin roast and let it rest/cool.
- While pork rests, add remaining juices to a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer.
- When ready to serve the pork loin roast, slice and gently place the slices on a serving platter, then drizzle the extra sauce over it. Garnish with fresh cranberries, apple slices, and orange slices.
