Scale

2–3 lbs pork loin roast

1 cup apple cider

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Fresh rosemary for garnish

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a bowl, mix together apple cider, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and cloves.

3. Place the pork loin in a roasting pan and pour the cider mixture over it.

4. Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour, basting occasionally with the glaze.

5. Check the internal temperature; it should reach at least 145°F (63°C).

6. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

7. Garnish with fresh rosemary and serve with the remaining glaze.

For a deeper flavor, marinate the pork in the cider mixture overnight. This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes.
