Recipe Summary Elegant Pork Loin Roast
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.Ingredients | Cooking Pork Loin Steaks Uk1 (4 pound) boneless pork loin roast¼ cup Dijon mustard2 tablespoons packed brown sugar1 ½ cups apple juice, divided1 cup pitted prunes1 cup dried apricots¾ cup red wine¼ cup packed brown sugar⅛ teaspoon ground cloves2 teaspoons cornstarchDirectionsPreheat 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.

Transfer to a gravy boat or serving bowl.Slice the roast, and pass the sauce for guests to serve themselves.You can substitute ruby port for the red wine, if you prefer.Info | Cooking Pork Loin Steaks Ukprep: 30 mins cook: 3 hrs total: 3 hrs 30 mins Servings: 8 Yield: 8 servings
