Apricot glazed pork roast

Apricot Glazed Pork Roast is a delightful and flavorful dish that's perfect for special occasions or a hearty family meal. The sweet and savory glaze made from strawberry jam, mustard, and chicken broth enhances the succulent pork fillet, creating a mouth-watering combination that will impress your guests and satisfy your taste buds.

Ingredients:

1 can chicken broth
300g
2 cups strawberry jam
640g
1 cup onion
160g
2 tbsp mustard
30g
4 lb pork fillet
1810g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Glaze:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken broth, strawberry jam, finely chopped onion, and mustard.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the jam has melted and the ingredients are well combined.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. This helps to blend the flavors.
3. Prepare the Pork Fillet:
- While the glaze is simmering, place the pork fillet in a roasting pan.
- Use a basting brush or spoon to coat the pork fillet generously with the glaze, making sure it is well covered on all sides.
- Reserve some glaze for basting during roasting.
4. Roast the Pork:
- Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven.
- Roast the pork fillet for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's properly cooked.
- Baste the pork with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
5. Rest and Serve:
- Once the pork roast is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making it more tender.
- Slice the pork roast and serve.
6. Optional:
- You can garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.

Tips:

- For a more intense flavor, marinate the pork fillet in the strawberry jam mixture for a few hours or overnight before cooking.

- To ensure an even cook, bring the pork fillet to room temperature before roasting.

- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork to avoid overcooking.

- Let the pork rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender and moist.

This Apricot Glazed Pork Roast is not just a feast for the senses but also a straightforward and rewarding recipe to follow. With its rich and fruity glaze and tender meat, it’s bound to be the highlight of your meal. Serve this delicious dish with your favorite side vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying dining experience.
