- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork loin, making sure to cover it evenly.
- Place the pork loin on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan. This will help the heat circulate evenly around the meat.
- Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F) for medium-rare or 71°C (160°F) for medium.
- While the pork is roasting, prepare the apple cider glaze (see below).
- In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider, cranberries, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the cranberries burst and the glaze thickens slightly.
- Once the glaze has thickened, remove from heat. You can mash the cranberries a bit for a smoother texture, or leave them whole for a chunkier glaze.
- About 15 minutes before the pork is finished roasting, brush the apple cider glaze generously over the pork loin.
- Return the pork to the oven and roast for the remaining time, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly and create a delicious, glossy finish.
- Once the pork loin reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced pork loin with the remaining cranberry Dijon apple cider glaze drizzled on top.
Serving and Storage Tips:
- This roast pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. For a festive touch, serve it with wild rice or a cranberry relish on the side.
- Leftover pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply slice and warm in the oven, covered with foil, to retain its moisture.
- The glaze can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat it gently before serving.
Variations:
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the glaze for a spicy contrast to the sweetness of the cranberries.
- Herb-Infused: For extra herb flavor, you can add fresh herbs like sage or parsley to the glaze or the pork rub.
- Roast with Apples: For a complete fall meal, place sliced apples around the pork roast in the pan. The apples will cook in the pork’s juices, becoming soft and caramelized – a great accompaniment to the savory pork and sweet glaze.
