Roast Pork Loin with Cherry Sauce #SundayFunday

Boneless Pork Loin Roast cooked to a perfect medium and topped with a savory cherry sauce.  A perfect comfort meal for a cold Sunday in January.

The Sunday Funday Bloggers are sharing Comfort Food Recipes.....

Sue of Palatable Pastime is hosting this week and invited us to share some comfort food recipes.  Sue could use a little bit of comfort right now as she is suffering some health problems. Please send good vibes her way.

It is finally, truly winter here in Michigan. It is freezing cold and we have snow.  We were very spoiled after the last few winters that were so mild.  Folks around here are either complaining or celebrating depending on how much you like winter sports, whether you are working and having to commute on icy roads, or are retired and can enjoy the beauty of  undisturbed winter scenes while cuddled up on the couch surrounded by the warmth of the fireplace.

This makes Sue's choice for Comfort Food perfect timing for my neck of the woods.  The cold weather always makes me hunger for roasts, stews, casseroles, and pasta.  All comfort foods in my book.  I am sharing the view from my seat near the fire where I am writing this post.  You can probably guess that I am more celebratory than complaining.  Of course, that may be because as you are reading this post today, Frank and I are on a plane heading to Sunny California to visit my brother and his family before boarding another plane to the tropical beauty of Maui.

Okay, I'm done bragging.  If you are not lucky enough to be leaving for warmer climes then comfort yourself with some of these warm meals.......

You can serve this pork loin roast without the cherry sauce but it is an easy addition that takes the meal a notch higher.
