How to Make Amazing Mustard Apricot Garlic Glazed Pork Loin
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Score the pork loin: Cut slits all over the pork roast, about 1 inch apart, and insert a halved garlic clove into each hole (approximately 10-12 cloves).
- Place the pork loin in a large heavy-duty ziploc bag or a large glass bowl.
- Add 1 cup Italian salad dressing and 1/2 cup dry red wine to the bag/bowl.
- Seal the bag or cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
- Remove the pork loin from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Let the pork loin sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
- Place the pork loin in a greased shallow roasting pan.
- Roast uncovered for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160°F (71°C).
- While the pork loin is roasting, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup apricot preserves, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons butter. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted and combined.
- During the last 20-30 minutes of roasting, brush the glaze generously over the pork loin every 5-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
