DAD'S BASIC MOIST PORK ROAST



Dad's Basic Moist Pork Roast image

This is the best and most basic way to ensure a juicy, perfectly-cooked pork roast every time. This recipe really requires a good thermometer -- either a $10 instant-read type or, even better, the type that pierces the meat and stays in place while connected to an outside-the-oven monitor. If you can swing that, then try your favorite marinade or rub on this recipe. Use your imagination on the rubs and marinades, but ensure you bring your roast directly from the fridge to the roasting pan -- Dad's recipe works best that way.

Add broth and cranberry juice; simmer until mixture is reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 8 minutes. Strain sauce into heavy medium saucepan, pressing on solids with back of spoon.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Cranberry sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

  • Serve the pork roast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
  • If you don't have fresh cranberries on hand, you can use frozen cranberries instead.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the pork roast, such as chopped apples, onions, or celery.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to feed a larger crowd.
