How to Make Cherry Almond Glazed Pork Loin
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place pork loin on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Roast uncovered for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 150°F (66°C).
- While the pork loin is roasting, prepare the glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup cherry preserves, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Bring the glaze mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds.
- Keep the glaze warm over low heat.
- Once the pork loin reaches 150°F (66°C), remove it from the oven and spoon the warm glaze generously over the meat.
- Return the pork loin to the oven and roast for another 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 170°F (77°C). Baste the meat with the glaze several times during this time.
- Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve the remaining glaze on the side.
