PORK LOIN ROAST WITH PEPPER JELLY GLAZE
Chef Frank Brigtsen, of Brigtsen's restaurant in New Orleans, makes homemade pepper jelly to glaze thick pork chops for Réveillon. He recommends two ways to simplify for the home cook: go for store-bought jelly and, instead of chops, a pork loin roast.

Steps:
- To marinate pork: Combine olive oil, wine, oregano, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper in a sealable plastic bag. Add the pork to the marinade. Refrigerate for least 1 hour or for up to 24 hours.
- When ready to continue, preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- To prepare glaze: Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, onion and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add salt and cumin; cook for 1 minute. Add broth, pepper jelly and vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Return the mixture to a boil and add cornstarch mixture; cook, whisking, until thickened, about 1 minute. Cover and remove from heat.
- To prepare pork: Remove the pork from the marinade (discard marinade) and season on all sides with seasoning blend. Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, flipping occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of the glaze over the pork and continue roasting, spooning 2 tablespoons glaze over the pork every 10 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145°F, 25 to 35 minutes more. Transfer the pork to a clean cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Slice the pork and serve with the remaining glaze.

PEPPER JELLY PORK ROAST: SWEET AND SPICY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 475 F. Line a baking pan with nonstick foil.
- Whisk together pepper jelly, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. (You can melt the jelly a bit in the microwave for about 15 to 20 seconds to make it easier to combine.)
- Sprinkle the underside of the pork loin roast with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Place the roast in the prepared pan fat-side up.
- Pour the pepper jelly mixture evenly over the top, then sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Bring the edges of the foil up to within 1 inch around the pork roast and crimp the corners so it stays in place.
- Place the pan in the oven and roast for 45 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 F and roast and additional 20 minutes. Turn off the oven, leaving the roast inside, and let it sit for 30 minutes.
- Slice into 1-inch-thick slabs to serve. Menu Suggestions A pork loin roast makes for a cozy fall or winter meal. Serve with roasted Brussels sprouts and potatoes au gratin. Or pair it with roasted sweet potatoes and parsnips. Like mashed potatoes? They go wonderfully with pork roast. Add in shredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheese and garlic for a new take on an old favorite and serve with steamed broccoli. Conventional wisdom says pork roast pairs best with a dry white wine. Try chenin blanc, pinot grigio, chardonnay or sauvignon blanc. Some like a medium-bodied red with pork loin roast since the meat is rich. Côtes du Rhône is a good choice if you're in the red camp. For dessert, bring on cherry, strawberry or blueberry cheesecake to continue the fruity theme. Leftover Ideas Unless you are having a crowd for dinner, you'll have a ton of pork roast left. Here are some ideas on how to use it.

SPICY PEPPER JELLY-MARINATED GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN
Steps:
- Rinse the pork, pat dry, remove the silver skin (see Know-how, page 81), and trim any excess fat. Place in a shallow container or large resealable bag.
- Whisk together the pepper jelly, wine, orange zest and juice, vinegar, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork and turn to coat evenly. (Or, if using a bag, pour the marinade into the bag, seal, and shake to coat the pork.) Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Turn the pork several times to distribute the marinade evenly.
- When ready to cook the pork, prepare a hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill and let the coals burn to gray ash with a slight red glow. Keep the coals on one side of the grill to create areas of direct and indirect heat (see Know-how, page 151); if using a gas grill, heat just one side on medium.
- Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and season with salt and pepper. Place the pork on the hot grill directly over the coals and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning three times and basting often with the reserved marinade. Move the pork away from the coals, close the grill or cover the pork with foil, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, until an internal thermometer inserted in the tenderloin reads 145°F for medium (this is what I prefer) or 160°F for medium-well.
- Remove the pork from the grill and transfer to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve warm with additional pepper jelly on the side.

Heat one side of your grill to medium, and place pork on the hot side, grilling for 12 to 15 minutes, turning 3 times and basting with reserved marinade. Move pork to the cool side and close the grill cover. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 145 F. Let rest before slicing.

Steps:
- Sprinkle heavily with garlic salt and let the salted pork sit at room temperature for 40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425°F
- Sauce: In a heavy skillet add 3 TBL olive oil and heat until hot then add garlic, shallots and red pepper and sauté until peppers, garlic, and shallots are soft (about 10-12 minutes).
- Add 1/2 cup of brandy (be careful not to flame).
- Add the stock, rosemary, and thyme and reduce the liquid by approximately 1/3.
- Take off heat and remove rosemary and thyme. Add jam and heat until jam liquefies.
- Pork: In a large skillet, heat 3 TBL oil to very hot but not smoking. Add the pork and sear for about 2 minutes per side, turning the pork only once so it gets a good sear.
- Remove the pork and place on a roasting pan in the preheated 425 F oven, for approximately 10-15 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 155 ° F (meat will still be a tiny bit pink, that's ok), do not overcook. When it comes out of the oven cover meat with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes.

PORK LOIN RED PEPPER JELLY RECIPE

Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Red Pepper Jelly Glaze Melt the jelly, vinegar, mustard and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan. Reserve. Trim the silver skin and any excess fat from tenderloins. Salt and pepper to taste. Heat the grill to medium high. Spray the grill grates with oil and grill the tenderloins on all sides with the grill cover down until nicely browned. Once tenderloin is browned, use a probe thermometer to cook it to USDA minimum of 145°F degrees internal temperature. Remove tenderloins and place a sheet of aluminum foil on the grill grates. Replace the tenderloins and brush the red pepper jelly glaze on all sides. Close the cover and let the glaze set for about 10 minutes. Remove and let rest under foil for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Additional notes for cooking Pork Loin Red Pepper Jelly:
- You can make the red-pepper jelly ahead of time. Make it a day or two before you plan to cook the loin to let the flavors really meld together.
- The jelly is perfect for serving with other meats, cheeses, or crackers. You can also add it to sandwiches, salads, or soups.
- To make the red-pepper jelly less spicy, you can use less serranos or remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers before pureeing them.
- If you don't have any red peppers on hand, you can use another type of sweet or hot peppers, such as orange, yellow, or poblano.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can cook the loin until it is just slightly pink in the center. Let it rest 10-15 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Pork Loin Red Pepper Jelly is an easy and delicious way to enjoy this classic dish. The red-pepper jelly is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and it complements the juicy, flavorful loin perfectly. This is an excellent choice for a special occasion meal, or for a weeknight dinner that's sure to impress your family and friends.
