How to Make Apricot Mustard Glazed Pork Roast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup apricot preserves, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place a roasting rack inside a roasting pan.
- Place the pork roast (approximately 3-4 pounds) on the rack.
- Pour about 2/3 of the apricot-mustard mixture evenly over the roast.
- Cover the roasting pan loosely with foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove foil, pour the remaining apricot-mustard mixture over the roast.
- Bake for another 45 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
