Recipe Ingredients:

1 center-cut pork loin roast - (3 1/2 lbs)
1 1/2 cups cranberry apple juice, divided
1 cup chardonnay
= (or other dry white wine)
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cardamom
2 tbsp apricot preserves
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp cornstarch, plus
1 tsp cornstarch
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
2 tbsp golden raisins

Recipe Instructions:

Place pork roast in resealable plastic food storage bag. Combine 1 cup cranberry apple juice, chardonnay, ginger and cardamom in medium bowl. Pour over roast, turning to coat. Seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator 4 hours or overnight, turning several times.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Remove roast from marinade; reserve marinade. Place roast in roasting pan. Pour marinade over roast. Bake, loosely covered with foil, 1 hour. Remove foil and continue baking 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees when tested with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of roast.

Transfer roast to cutting board; cover with foil. Internal temperature will continue to rise 5 degrees to 10 degrees during stand time.

Measure juices from pan. Add enough remaining cranberry apple juice to equal 1 1/2 cups. Combine juices and apricot preserves in small saucepan. Stir water into cornstarch in cup until smooth; stir into juice mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until thickened, stirring frequently. Add dried cranberries, apricots and raisins. Cook 2 minutes; remove from heat.

Cut roast into thin slices. Drizzle some sauce over roast; serve with remaining sauce. Garnish, if desired.

“Americans can eat garbage, provided you sprinkle it liberally with ketchup, mustard, chili sauce, tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, or any other condiment which destroys the original flavor of the dish.”

~ Henry Miller, American writer (1891-1980)
