Maybe you don’t like turkey, or maybe you just want to change things up this year. Either way, this delicious roasted pork will fit just perfectly at the center of the holiday table.
Pork Loin Roast: You’ll need a 3-pound boneless pork loin for this recipe. Olive Oil: Helps the salt and pepper adhere to the roast. Salt + Pepper: Enhance the natural flavor of the roast. Orange Juice: Adds a refreshing citrus flavor to the sauce. Apple Cider Vinegar: Adds a sweet and acidic flavor to the sauce. Sweet Orange Marmalade: Enhances the citrus flavor of the sauce. Whole Cranberry Sauce: Adds a sweet and tart flavor to the sauce.
Pro Tip: Let the pork loin sit out while preheating the oven. You don’t want it to be cold when it goes in the oven.
