After finding this idea in a magazine, I changed it up to make it my own. I like to keep a pork loin in the freezer so we can have this special dish anytime. —Marlys Peterson, Centerville, SD

Ingredients

1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground coriander

1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

In a small saucepan, combine the first eight ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes or until glaze is reduced to 1 cup.
Meanwhile, sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan lined with heavy-duty foil. Roast at 350° for 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 hours or until a thermometer reads 145°, brushing with glaze 2-3 times after first hour of roasting. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing. If desired, serve with orange slices.

Family favourite with a super glaze. I add a further 2 tsp of minced ginger

Great flavor glaze- I had a bit extra and used to drizzle over slices. I cannot do chili powder, but used Spanish paprika and I enjoyed it very much- smells wonderful cooking. Good combo of spices

My husband usually won't eat pork unless it's bacon but once he tried this he said I had to keep this recipe. The whole family enjoyed it. Great flavor and super easy to put together.
