Roasted Pork Loin With A Sweet Sherry Sauce Recipes

ROASTED SWEET VIDALIA PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Generously sprinkle all sides of the pork loin with salt and pepper. Place a braiser or shallow Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and heat until shimmering. Carefully put the pork in the pan. Sear until deeply golden on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan.
• Put the onions and apple in a large mixing bowl. Add the caraway seeds, dried thyme, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss to coat. Transfer the mixture to the bottom of the braiser and nestle in the garlic cloves. Pour in 1/4 cup of the chicken stock and place the pork back on top.
• Roast until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 30 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board to rest while you make a pan sauce. Remove the apple and onion mixture to a platter
• Return the braiser to the stove over medium-high heat. Pour in the hard cider and remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock. Cook, scraping with a spatula to remove any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Whisk in the mustard. Allow the sauce to simmer until reduced slightly, a couple of minutes. Add the butter, whisking until melted. Cook just until the sauce is shiny and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
• Slice the pork and arrange the slices over the onion and apple mixture. Top with sauce and chopped parsley.

PORK ROAST WITH SHERRY-PLUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from pork. Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork in oil about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides.
• Place pork in 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker. Mix remaining ingredients except jam; pour over pork.
• Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 9 hours or until pork is tender.

• Cover and cook on high heat setting about 15 minutes or until jam is melted; stir. Serve sauce with pork.

GLAZED SWEET AND SPICY PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Place roast fat side down in a shallow metal pan or iron skillet.
• Rub all surfaces of the roast with canola oil.
• Combine all the dry ingredients together to make a rub. Note: I mortar and pestle the rosemary a little to break it apart and release the flavor. You can use more or less of these dry ingredients to taste or to your perference.
• Apply the above to all surfaces of the roast. Rub them in well and return the roast to the pan fat side down.
• Drizzle maple syrup over top of the roast and let it run down the sides. Try to coat the top and sides evenly. It's okay if the syrup runs down onto the pan surface.
• Bake in a preheated 325F oven. Refer to a cookbook pork roasting chart to determine the exact baking time, depending on the weight of your roast. A 2 1/2 to 3 pound roast should take about 1 hour and 20 minutes to be done in a 325F oven.
• After the roast is done, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 20 minutes or so while still in the pan. Then use a tablespoon to gather the thick fluid (glaze) from the bottom of the pan and spoon it over the top and sides of the roast.
• Enjoy.
