Cranberry Apple Stuffed Pork Loin image

An easy and impressive dish that tastes wonderful.

Provided by tahoegirl

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Time 1h35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup chicken flavored dry stuffing mix
½ cup water
1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast
1 cup chopped apple
⅓ cup dried cranberries
⅓ cup chopped toasted pecans
¼ cup finely chopped onion
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Combine the stuffing mix and water in a mixing bowl; set aside. Grease a roasting pan with cooking spray.
  • Trim the fat and connective tissue from the pork loin. Cut from one side through the middle horizontally to within 1/2-inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Place the pork loin between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch.
  • Stir the apple, cranberries, pecans, and onion into the stuffing mix. Season the pork loin with salt and pepper to taste, then spread the stuffing mix onto the cut side of the loin. Roll the pork into a firm cylinder, and secure with cooking twine. Place into the prepared roasting pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Cover the meat with two layers of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes. Remove kitchen twine before slicing and serving.

This is an original recipe for those who like trying something a little different. Using cranberries, walnuts, and golden raisins, you can make a stuffing that sweetens your Thanksgiving meal! I'm not actually sure how well it does when baked in a turkey. I find that putting stuffing in the bird tends to dry the bird.

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh cranberries and celery will give your stuffing the best flavor.

  • Add moisture to the stuffing. If your stuffing is too dry, add some chicken broth or water. You can also add some melted butter or olive oil.
  • Season the stuffing to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as sage, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.
