Ingredients:
- 3-4 lbs pork tenderloin
- 1 cup marmalade or preserves
- 1/4 cup apple juice
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the marmalade or preserves with the apple juice until well combined.
-
Prepare the Pan: Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray (like Pam). Spread a thin layer of the glaze mixture on the bottom of the pan.
-
Coat the Pork: Place the pork tenderloin in the prepared baking pan. Pour the remaining glaze mixture over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated.
-
Cover and Bake: Cover the baking pan loosely with aluminum foil. Make small slits in the foil to allow steam to escape during cooking.
-
Bake: Bake the pork roast in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes per pound, which totals about 90 minutes for a 3-pound roast. Baste the pork with the pan juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
-
Uncover and Finish: Remove the foil after the last basting and continue to bake uncovered for the final 30 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 170°F (77°C) for well-done pork.
-
Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a moist roast.
-
Slice and Enjoy: Slice the pork roast into thick slices and serve warm with your favorite sides. It pairs wonderfully with candied sweet potatoes, a fresh green salad, and warm French bread.
