APRICOT GLAZED ROAST PORK TENDERLOIN



APRICOT GLAZED ROAST PORK TENDERLOIN image

Categories     Pork     Roast

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 16-20 oz. Pork Tenderloin
Marinade:
1 Tablespoon Fresh Ginger, grated
3-4 Cloves Fresh Garlic,
crushed
1 16 oz. bottle lite soy sauce
Glaze:
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
1 Pint of dark, spiced jamaican rum
1 10 oz. jar apricot preserves
1 14 oz. can apricot halves, drained
To cook:
1 twig fresh Rosemary leaves
1 Teaspoon coarsely crushed coriander seeds

Steps:

  • Marinate pork overnight (or about 8 hours) in ginger, soy, and garlic mixture (make sure entire tenderloin is covered). Preheat oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit. Remove pork from marinade and wipe away all clinging garlic and ginger particles and place in a 2 qt. roasting pan. Set aside. In a 12 inch skillet over medium heat, melt butter and then add a little rum, all the preserves, and all the apricot halves. allow to lightly boil for a minute or two and reduce heat and simmer, adding splashes of rum as needed, for about ten minutes, or until apricot halves are mushy-but-solid and liquid lightly clings to fork. Pour glaze mixture over pork and arrange cooked apricot halves on top. Pour the rest of the rum (if any is left) in as well. Don't worry, the alcohol will cook off. Sprinkle rosemary and coriander over roast and cover. Roast, covered, at 450 for about 20 minutes or until inside temp of tenderloin reaches 160 degrees. Let sit, covered, about 5 minutes. Cut into medallions and serve. Just a minor oversight on my part: as the pork cooks, the soy will cook out into the pan, turning the "glaze" into more of a juice. It's still just as good, but if you want more of a traditional glaze, add the contents of the skillet to the individual medallions as you serve them.

Pork roasts are a popular meal choice for many, and with the addition of an apricot glaze, this dish can be elevated to new heights. Apricot glazed pork roast recipes combine the sweetness of apricots with savory pork to create a delicious and flavorful entree. In this article, we will explore what apricot glazed pork roast recipes are, how they are made, and some tips on making the perfect glaze.

What is an apricot glazed pork roast?

An apricot glazed pork roast is a dish that consists of a pork roast coated with a sweet and tangy apricot glaze. The glaze is made by mixing apricot preserves or jam, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce, among other ingredients. Once the glaze is prepared, it is brushed onto the pork roast and then baked in the oven until the pork is cooked through.

Ingredients for apricot glazed pork roast

- Pork roast: Any cut of pork roast can be used for this recipe, but a boneless center-cut pork loin is recommended. - Apricot preserves or jam: This provides the sweetness for the glaze. - Dijon mustard: Adds tanginess and balances the sweetness of the apricot preserves. - Soy sauce: Provides a salty flavor that complements the sweetness of the glaze. - Garlic: Adds a savory flavor and aroma. - Olive oil: Used to coat the pork roast before applying the glaze. - Salt and pepper: Seasonings that enhance the flavor of the pork roast.

How to make apricot glazed pork roast

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. 3. Place the pork roast in a roasting pan and brush with olive oil. 4. Spread the apricot glaze evenly over the pork roast, making sure to coat all sides. 5. Roast the pork in the oven for 30 minutes. 6. After 30 minutes, baste the pork with the remaining apricot glaze, and continue to roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees F. 7. Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for making the perfect apricot glaze

- Use high-quality apricot preserves or jam for the glaze. Cheaper versions may contain more sugar and less apricot flavor. - Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard and soy sauce to suit your taste preferences. You may prefer a sweeter glaze or a more savory one. - Baste the pork with the remaining glaze towards the end of the cooking time. This will enhance the flavor and keep the pork moist. - Let the pork rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute. This will result in a more tender and juicy meat.

Pork roast recipes are a staple in many households, and for good reason. They are delicious, easy to prepare, and can be cooked in a variety of ways. One way to add some extra flavor to your pork roast recipe is by using an apricot glaze. This sweet and tangy glaze is the perfect addition to any pork roast, and can take your dish from ordinary to extraordinary. In this article, we will provide you with some valuable tips on how to make the perfect apricot glazed pork roast recipe.

Tip #1: Choose the Right Cut of Pork

When it comes to making a pork roast recipe, choosing the right cut of pork is essential. For an apricot glazed pork roast recipe, we recommend using a boneless pork loin roast. This cut of meat is lean, tender, and has a mild flavor that pairs well with the sweet and tangy flavor of the glaze. It is also easy to carve and can be cooked in a variety of ways, including roasting, grilling, or slow cooking.

Tip #2: Season Your Pork Roast

Before adding the apricot glaze to your pork roast, it is important to season the meat. This will help to enhance the flavors of both the pork and the glaze, and ensure that your dish is delicious from the first bite to the last. To season your pork roast, we recommend using a simple mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture all over the pork roast, making sure to coat it evenly.

Tip #3: Prepare Your Apricot Glaze

To make the perfect apricot glaze for your pork roast recipe, you will need apricot preserves, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, and a few other pantry staples. In a small saucepan, combine all of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let the glaze simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened and reduced by about half. Make sure to taste the glaze before adding it to the pork roast, and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Tip #4: Apply Your Apricot Glaze

Once your pork roast is seasoned and your apricot glaze is prepared, it is time to combine the two. Brush the glaze all over the pork roast, making sure to coat it evenly. If you are using a slow cooker, pour the glaze over the pork roast and let it cook on low for 6-8 hours. If you are roasting or grilling your pork roast, baste it with the glaze every 15-20 minutes, making sure to cover it completely.

Tip #5: Let Your Pork Roast Rest

Once your pork roast is cooked to perfection and coated in a delicious apricot glaze, it is important to let it rest before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork roast. To let your pork roast rest, remove it from the heat source and cover it tightly with foil. Let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes before carving.

Tip #6: Serve and Enjoy!

When it comes to serving your apricot glazed pork roast, the possibilities are endless. You can slice it thinly and serve it with a side of roasted vegetables, or shred it and use it to make sandwiches or tacos. No matter how you choose to serve it, one thing is for sure – this pork roast recipe will be a hit with everyone at the table.
Conclusion
Making an apricot glazed pork roast recipe is a great way to add some extra flavor and excitement to your dinner table. By following these valuable tips, you can ensure that your pork roast is tender, juicy, and packed with flavor.
