This is a delicious dish I often serve guests. I typically save it for when mint and strawberries are plentiful in my garden. Bernice V. Janowski, Stevens Point, Wisconsin

Glazed Pork with Strawberry Couscous Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1 hour 20 min. + standing

Yield: 10 Servings

15 80 95

Ingredients

2 teaspoons dried marjoram
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon seasoned pepper
1 bone-in pork loin roast (5 pounds)
1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam
1/2 cup orange juice, divided
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
1 package (10 ounces) plain couscous
1 cup fresh strawberries, quartered
1/4 cup minced fresh mint
2 teaspoons grated orange peel

Directions

Line the bottom of a large shallow roasting pan with foil; set aside. Combine the marjoram, salt and pepper; rub over roast. Place in pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour.
Combine jam and 1/4 cup orange juice; brush half over pork. Bake 20-30 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160°, basting with remaining jam mixture every 10 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Stir in couscous. Cover and remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork; stir in the strawberries, mint, orange peel and remaining orange juice. Serve with pork. Yield: 10 servings.

Wow! This was awesome! Even my picky 6 yo liked it. Infact, she informs me that she wants some for breakfast. I modified this recipe by adding 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper to the pepper for the rub and 2 tsp. kosher salt instead of regular salt. I used a 3 pound loin roast. For the basting sauce I used straight orange juice concentrate and instead of strawberry jam, I used apricot. I used all of that on the meat. We didn't have couscous and instead served it with brown rice. I will definitely be making this again and with a bigger roast! ;o)
