Orange Glazed Pork Roast
Orange Glazed Pork Roast
We made this is class last night. It’s a wonderful and easy way to make your next pork roast special. The secret is a pretty simple glaze of orange juice, brown sugar and spices. The result is a roast with a slightly sweet flavor and lovely aroma. While the recipe calls for a pork loin I used a sirloin pork roast and it was really good.
Orange Glazed Roasted Pork Loin
4½ to 5 lb. loin of pork (10 chops)
2 teaspoons salt
freshly ground pepper
1-cup orange juice
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan. Insert thermometer; do not let it touch bone. Rub in the salt and pepper Roast for 35 minutes to the pound, or until it reaches 145 degrees. In a small saucepan, mix the orange juice, sugar, ginger & cloves. Simmer for 30 minutes. Brush this glaze at least twice over the pork while it is roasting.
