Harvest Time Pork Loin Recipes

HARVEST TIME PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. On rack in shallow roasting pan, place pork. In small bowl, mix marmalade, orange juice, fennel, thyme and sage. Brush half of the marmalade mixture over pork.
• In large bowl, toss sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with oil, salt and pepper. Arrange vegetables around pork. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of pork.
• Roast uncovered 1 hour. Brush pork with remaining marmalade mixture; gently stir vegetables to coat with pan juices. Roast about 15 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 155°F and vegetables are tender. Cover pork with foil and let stand 10 to 15 minutes until thermometer reads 160°F.

STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Heat margarine in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and celery in the hot margarine until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a bowl. Stir bread into vegetables until moistened; season with salt and black pepper.
• Cut the pork loin almost in half lengthwise, cutting to about 1 inch from the bottom; open pork loin like a book. Cover with plastic wrap and lightly pound with a meat mallet to flatten the meat. Spoon stuffing onto the pork loin, roll the meat over the stuffing, and tie pork loin together in three places using kitchen twine.
• Place tied loin into a roasting pan and pour about 3 tablespoons water around the roast. Season roast with salt, black pepper, thyme, herbes de Provence, and garlic powder.
• Roast stuffed pork loin until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Rest meat for 15 minutes before untying and slicing.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until lightly browned on all sides. Stir in the garlic and onion, and continue to cook until the onion has softened, and the pork is firm, and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
• Place the pork and onions into a large saucepan. Pour in the chicken broth, and season with salt, rosemary, sage, and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Stir in the butternut squash, apples, potatoes, and carrots. Return to a simmer, then cook, uncovered until the squash and apples are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and serve.

AUTUMN HARVEST'S BEST PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Rub pork loin with pepper and salt to taste.
• Brown sides in frying pan.
• Line apples on the bottom of a crockpot.
• Lay pork loin on top of apples.
• Whisk the remaining ingredients together and pour over pork loin and apples.
• Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
• *Note:I use Livingston's Chablis Blanc which is about$4.00 a bottle in the grocery store. However, Beringer's Chenin Blanc or a nice German white wine (like Reisling) would be lovely as well.
• **Note:I use my mom's homemade peach jam. If you use plain peach jam be sure to add 1/2 tsp cinnamon and a pinch of ground clove for a wonderful flavor.
