From just two trees, we get an abundance of pears. So I'm always looking for new ideas on how to use them. This elegant roast offers a delicious way to incorporate pears into a main dish stuffing and glaze.

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless whole pork loin roast (3 to 4 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup chopped peeled ripe pears
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried pears
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • GLAZE:
  • 1 cup finely chopped peeled ripe pears
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chili sauce
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of roast to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open roast so it lies flat. On each half, make another lengthwise slit down the center to within 1/2 in. of bottom; open roast and cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 3/4-in. thickness. Remove plastic wrap.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the ripe pears, dried pears, walnuts, cilantro, honey, garlic and pepper flakes; spread over roast to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up from a long side; tie with kitchen string at 2-in. intervals. Place in a shallow roasting pan lined with heavy-duty foil.
  3. Combine the glaze ingredients; spoon over roast. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 160°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
