How to Make Amazing Mustard Apricot Garlic Glazed Pork Loin

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. 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).
3. Place the pork loin in a large heavy-duty ziploc bag or a large glass bowl.
4. Add 1 cup Italian salad dressing and 1/2 cup dry red wine to the bag/bowl.
5. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
6. Remove the pork loin from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
7. Season generously with salt and pepper.
8. Let the pork loin sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
9. Place the pork loin in a greased shallow roasting pan.
10. 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).
11. 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.
12. During the last 20-30 minutes of roasting, brush the glaze generously over the pork loin every 5-10 minutes.
13. Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
