Time 2h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 6- to 7-pound 8-rib bone-in center cut pork loin, chine bone removed, frenched
2 carrots, halved lengthwise
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups pomegranate juice
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard

Steps:

  • Remove the pork roast from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the rack on the lower middle section of the oven.
  • Place the carrot halves on the bottom of a small roasting pan and set aside.

Mix together the cinnamon, cloves and 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the roast and rub to coat. Place the roast on the carrots and add 1/2 cup water to the pan. Roast for 1 hour, adding another 1/2 cup water if the pan gets dry.

  • Baste the roast again with the pomegranate mixture. Return the roast to the hot oven for an additional 20 minutes, basting with the pomegranate sauce every 5 to 10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F and the roast is evenly glazed. Remove the roast to a platter to rest for 10 minutes. Add any juices from the pan to the sauce and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir to combine. Slice the roast and serve with the sauce on the side.
