Apple Orchard Pork Roast Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. Bake: 1-1/4 hours + standing
  • Yield: 8 Servings
25 75 100

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless whole pork loin roast (3 to 4 pounds)
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 fresh sage leaves
  • 3 fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 3 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 3 large tart apples, cut into wedges
  • 2 medium onions, cut into chunks
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1-2/3 cups sparkling apple cider, divided
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Directions

  • Place roast in a shallow roasting pan; rub with garlic halves and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with herbs. Arrange the apples, onions and sliced garlic around roast; dot with butter. Combine 1 cup cider and soy sauce; pour over top.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160°, basting occasionally with pan juices. Remove the roast, apples and onions to a serving platter; keep warm. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Meanwhile, skim fat from pan juices; transfer juices to a small saucepan. Add remaining cider. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat; whisk in sour cream until smooth. Serve with pork. Yield: 8 servings (1 cup sauce).

I cut the sage, thyme and and salt by 1/2. The cooking time for a 3 1/2 Lb. Pork roast turned out to be over two hours (meat thermometer used). This was well worth the extra time. Everyone had seconds and commented that this was the most flavorful

pork roast that they had ever had. I will make this again soon.
