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

  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF
  2. Prep the pork: pat dry with paper towels, rub it with olive oil, then season it with salt and pepper.
  3. Sear the pork loin, about 2 minutes on every side.
  4. 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.
  5. Place the pork loin in a roasting pan and pour the sauce directly over it.
  6. 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)
  7. Remove the pork loin roast and let it rest/cool.
  8. While pork rests, add remaining juices to a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer.
  9. 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.
