How to Make Apple Jack Pork Marinade

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup apple juice, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Place pork loin (approximately 2-3 pounds) in a large resealable plastic bag.
3. Pour marinade over the pork, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air.
4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 6 hours for maximum flavor.
5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
6. Remove pork from marinade and place in a roasting pan. Reserve the marinade.
7. Roast for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C). Baste with reserved marinade halfway through cooking.
8. Remove pork from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
9. While pork rests, pour reserved marinade into the roasting pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
10. Serve sliced pork over roasted vegetables (such as carrots and potatoes), drizzled with the delicious pan sauce.
