10 Servings
Prep: 10 min. Bake: 65 min. + standing

Ingredients

1 boneless whole pork loin roast (3-1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon salt
1 jar (12 ounces) cherry preserves
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon each ground cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves
1/4 cup slivered almonds

Directions

Sprinkle roast with salt; place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes.
In a small saucepan, bring the preserves, vinegar, corn syrup and spices to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Set aside 3/4 cup for serving. Stir almonds into remaining mixture.
Brush roast with some of the glaze. Bake 35-50 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160°, brushing frequently with remaining glaze. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with reserved cherry mixture. Yield: 10 servings.
