This Pork Loin Roast is drizzled with honey, topped with herbs, dotted with butter before being surrounded with apples and onions and roasted. The perfect centerpiece for a Fall Feast.
We enjoyed this as an entree last Sunday when we had a fun gathering of our friends with whom we had gone to Curacao. It was an amazing evening with a fantastic group of dear people. This roast was a big hit. I served it with mashed potatoes and sweet and spicy broccoli. That recipe is coming up next week as we celebrate Holiday Side Dishes.
Also stay tuned to see what I did with the leftovers when I share my Muffin Monday recipe with you. The remainder of those leftovers went into the freezer and will be used for our Taco Tuesday meal this week.
Tomorrow evening we are having a gathering of our neighbor's as we celebrate a Halloween Birthday. I'm looking forward to it. Saturday we have a meeting at the dive shop to talk about our trip to the Red Sea in October of next year. We will be going out to dinner after the meeting.
Honeyed Pork Loin with Apples and Onions
Ingredients
- 1 (4 lb) pork loin roast
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 T. honey
- Fresh rosemary
- Fresh thyme
- 1 stick cold butter
- 1 large Vidalia onion, peeled and cut into eighths
- 1 c. apple cider
- 6 apples, cored and cut into quarters
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry the roast. Place into a large roaster, season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the honey over the roast and then place sprigs of rosemary and thyme on top of the roast.
- Cut the cold butter into cubes and scatter over the roast. Pour the cider into the pan and scatter the onions around the roast.
- Roast in a preheated oven until the pork has an internal temperature on 120*, about 40 minutes or so. Add the apples to the pan and continue to roast until apples are tender and the roast has an internal temperature of 160*, about another 45 minutes to an hour.
- Let rest for 15 minutes before cutting into thin slices and serving with the roasted onions and apples.
