Cherry Balsamic Pork Loin Recipe

By jobustitch

Ingredients

• 1 boneless pork loin roast (3 to 4 pounds)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 3/4 cup cherry preserves
• 1/2 cup dried cherries
• 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown roast on all sides.

Transfer to a 6-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix preserves, cherries, vinegar and brown sugar until blended; pour over roast. Cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until tender (a thermometer inserted in pork should read at least 145°).

Remove roast from slow cooker; tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Skim fat from cooking juices. Serve pork with sauce.
Yield: 8 servings (1-1/3 cups sauce).
