Pork Loin with Apricot Glaze

By Heather_D

This is a recipe that was inspired by the fruit that I found in the grocery store. The apricot and fresh ginger flavors are an amazing combination!

Ingredients

• 2 - 2 1/2 lbs. Boneless Pork Roast
• 8 apricots, cored and diced OR 12.75 oz. jar Sugar-Free Apricot Preserves + 1/4 cup water
• 1" piece fresh ginger root, peeled and finely chopped
• 2 1/2 tsp. allspice
• 1 tsp. thyme
• 2 tsp. ground ginger
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup brown sugar
• Two 14 1/2 oz. cans Chicken Broth

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pork roast into a roasting pan. Add 1 tsp. allspice, 1/2 tsp. thyme, and 1 tsp. ground ginger to the top of the roast. Bake the roast for 1 hour. Flip the roast over and add 1 tsp. allspice, 1/2 tsp. thyme, and 1 tsp. ground ginger to the top of the pork roast. To the bottom of the pan, add the chicken broth, 1 cup water, and 1/2 tsp. allspice. Bake the pork roast for an additional hour. Add the ginger root to a food processor and chop to make a chunky puree. To a blender, add the fresh apricots and 2 cups of water; Blend until smooth. To a medium pot, add the apricot mixture, brown sugar, and ginger root. Bring the apricot mixture to a boil and boil for 10 - 15 minutes. Strain the apricot mixture to remove the ginger pieces. Pour the apricot sauce over the pork roast, slice, and serve.
