Ingredients

• 3 pounds Pork loin roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup Cranberry sauce (whole berry or jellied)
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme leaves, rubbing them over the pork loin to evenly coat.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberry sauce, orange juice, honey, and Dijon mustard. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 6

Pour half of the cranberry glaze over the pork loin, reserving the remaining half for serving.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet or roasting pan to the preheated oven. Roast the pork loin for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the roast with additional glaze every 20 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the pork loin from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve the pork loin slices drizzled with the reserved cranberry glaze. Enjoy!
