Elegant Pork Loin Roast image

This recipe came from my mom. It takes little time since it requires basting, but the end result is worth it. Makes a truly elegant meal served with mashed red potatoes and a green vegetable.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (4 pound) boneless pork loin roast
¼ cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 ½ cups apple juice, divided
1 cup pitted prunes
1 cup dried apricots
¾ cup red wine
¼ cup packed brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Place the roast in a shallow roasting pan. Mix together the mustard and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar; spread over the roast.
  • Roast for 3 hours in the preheated oven, basting with 1/4 cup of apple juice every 30 minutes. Roast is done when the internal temperature reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • During the last hour the roast is cooking, combine the prunes, apricots, red wine, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup of the juices from the roasting pan, and cloves in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Spoon the fruit around the roast in the roasting pan during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • When the roast is done, place it onto a serving platter and spoon the fruit around it. Remove 1/4 cup of the drippings from the roasting pan, and mix with the cornstarch. Stir into the pan of drippings, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring gently until thickened and no longer cloudy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a gravy boat or serving bowl.
  • Slice the roast, and pass the sauce for guests to serve themselves.
