Pork Loin Roast with Maple Glaze, Apples and Cranberries
#entertainingwithbeth #CookingChannel #PorkLoinRoast
Pork Loin Roast with Maple Glaze, Apples and Cranberries is one of my favorite pork loin recipes. It's succulent and flavorful thanks to an easy pork brine recipe you can make the day before serving. The pork is seared in a skillet on the cooktop to lock in the flavor and then finishes off in the oven roasting with the sticky maple glaze, apples, and cranberries. The result is a delicious syrupy sauce that pairs beautifully with the pork!

7 cups (1680 ml) of cold water

1 ½ cups (225g) of fresh cranberries
¼ tsp (1.25ml) ground cloves

For Glaze:
½ cup (120ml) maple syrup
1 tbsp (15ml) Dijon mustard
1 tbsp (15ml) soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp (15ml) fresh orange juice
¼ cup (45g) brown sugar
2 tsp (10ml) apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp (1.25ml) ground cloves
2 tbsp (30ml) of freshly minced rosemary
For Finishing Sauce:
½ tsp (2.5ml) Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp (15ml) Dijon Mustard
METHOD:
The Day Before: Create the Brine and Brine the Pork
In a small sauce pan add 1 cup of water and the salt and the sugar. Simmer until sugar and salt is dissolved.
Pour this mixture into a large 5 quart Dutch oven. Add then 7 cups of very cold water (to cool the brine down) then add the peppercorns, fennel seeds, garlic, bay leaf and rosemary. Place lid on the Dutch oven and place in refrigerator until the brine is completely chilled. At least 30 minutes. The brine must not be warm at all before adding the pork otherwise it will start to “cook” the pork before you are ready!
Then place the pork loin roast in the Dutch oven, making sure the brine is covering it completely, add a cup more water if needed or cover with a plate, instead of the lid, to push the pork down. Refrigerate at least 12 hours, but 24 hours is even better! Pork can brine up to 2 days.
To Prepare the Pork:
Remove the pork loin and rinse it well of the brine. Transfer the pork to a casserole dish. Then drain the brine through a fine mesh sieve to catch all the peppercorns, fennel seeds etc. Discard the solids, and pour the brine solution down the drain.
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towel. Then season with freshly cracked pepper.
Then prepare the glaze by adding all ingredients into a small pitcher or bowl and set aside.
Then in a large oven-safe skillet, heat the vegetable oil. Sear the pork loin, fat side down first, and then continue with other sides and ends. Sear until golden brown. Then transfer the pork loin to a large casserole dish or plate to rest.
Deglaze the skillet with the hard apple cider (or wine, or broth) until reduced slightly. Then add the apples, the cranberries, orange peels and sprinkle with the cloves and stir to combine and form a single layer. Place the pork loin on top of the fruit.
Brush the loin with 1/3 of the glaze, reserving the rest for basting.
Place skillet in a 375F oven for 30-40 minutes, basting with the glaze every 10 minutes. At the final 10 minutes, pour the remaining glaze on top of the pork, allowing it to spill down into the fruit.
Take the pork out of the oven when it reaches 145F with a meat thermometer. Remove the pork from the skillet and allow it to rest on a carving board, covered loosely with foil. The pork will then come up to 150F which is the perfect internal temperature for serving.
Then place the skillet back on the cooktop. Whisk in the Worcestershire sauce and mustard and then set on a medium high flame to reduce the sauce until syrupy and thickened.
Transfer sauce to a large platter, creating a bed of sauce, carve half of the pork into ¼ inch slices, place the loin on the fruit with the slices, splayed out from it.
Garnish platter with fresh rosemary and 2 mandarin oranges cut in half with a few whole cloves pierced into the center of the orange.
Roast Pork Loin with Bacon and Brown Sugar Glaze
Recipe:
1 boneless pork loin, about 5 to 6 pounds
4 to 6 slices bacon
Rub Mixture:
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze:
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
Heat oven to 350°.
Place pork loin in a roasting pan. Combine the rub ingredients and rub over the pork. Cut each strip of bacon in half crosswise and lay them over the pork loin. Roast for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the pork registers about 150°.
In the meantime, combine the brown sugar, flour, cider vinegar, and dry mustard in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 1 minute. Spoon over the pork and return to the oven. Roast for about 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until pork registers 160°.
Serves 6 to 8.

Roast pork loin
- pork loin
- salt
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
Method
1. Score the pork skin every 1cm, just through the skin and into the fat - you don't want to score the muscle.
2. Tie the loin with butcher's string, this will help the loin to keep its shape and cook evenly.
3. Place the pork onto a tray with a rack under it and then cover the skin side of the pork with lots of salt. Put it into the fridge overnight, at a minimum, but 24 hours is better.
4. When ready to roast, preheat the oven to 230c.
5. Brush off all the salt and pat dry the skin with a paper towel. Then brush on a little oil to the skin, season the underside of the pork loin and also a little more on top before placing it into the oven at 230c for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn the oven down to 180c and continue to cook until you reach an internal temp of 65c (150f).
6. Let the pork rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
