APPLE PECAN ROASTED PORK image

I like that fact that this recipe uses apple cider rather than apples, thereby lending the pork the subtle flavor of apples. And pecan pieces to top it off--yum! Recipe & photo: tasteofhome.com

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
1/2 c apple cider or apple juice
1 tsp salt
1/2 c finely chopped pecans
1/4 c honey
2 Tbsp dijon mustard

Steps:

  • 1. Place the pork roast in a large resealable plastic bag; add apple cider (or juice) and 1 tsp. salt. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • 2. Spread the pecans on a plate. Drain pork, discarding marinade. In a small bowl, mix honey and mustard; rub over pork. Roll pork in pecans, patting to help nuts adhere.
  • 3. Transfer to a greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for one hour. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Cut into slices and season with salt to taste.
