  | Cherry Glazed Roast Pork |
- Pork loin roast - about 3 lbs.
- 1 jar (12 oz.) cherry jam or preserves
- 2 T. light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 3 T. slivered toasted almonds(optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation -
Place the roast in a shallow baking pan with a small amount of water. Roast, uncovered, at 325º for about 2 hours. About 30 minutes before roasting time is complete, in a saucepan, combine cherry jam or preserves, corn syrup, vinegar and spices. Heat to boiling, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to simmer and cook 2 more minutes. (this step could be done in a microwave oven instead). Add the toasted almonds(if using). When the meat has roasted for 2 hours, remove it from the oven and spoon enough cherry sauce over the roast to glaze. Return to the oven for about 30 more minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 170º. Baste the roast with sauce several times during last 30 minutes. Serve the remaining cherry sauce with the roast. |
