How to Make Glazed Pork Loin Roast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Score the pork loin roast: Make 4-6 shallow slits across the fat cap of the roast.
  3. Season generously: Sprinkle the roast evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt.
  4. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup orange marmalade and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard. Stir in 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves.
  5. Coat the roast: Spread the marmalade mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork loin.
  6. Roast the pork loin: Place the seasoned and glazed roast in a roasting pan. Bake for 20 minutes per pound, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160°F (71°C).
  7. Add extra glaze (optional): During the last 15 minutes of cooking, baste the roast with additional marmalade glaze for extra flavor and shine.
  8. Rest the roast: Once the pork loin reaches the desired internal temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
  9. Slice and serve: Slice the roast against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy!
