How to Make Pineapple Cranberry Pork Roast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Score the pork roast: Using a sharp knife, pierce the roast in several places to allow for better flavor penetration.
- Prepare the spice rub: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. (Adjust amounts to taste)
- Season the roast: Generously sprinkle the spice rub all over the pork roast.
- Prepare the roasting pan: Place 1 large chopped onion in the bottom of a roasting pan coated with cooking spray.
- Place the roast: Position the seasoned pork roast on top of the onions.
- Make the glaze: In a separate bowl, combine 1 (20 ounce) can of pineapple chunks (drained), 1 (14 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce, and 2 tablespoons of orange juice.
- Glaze and bake: Pour the cranberry-pineapple glaze evenly over the roast.
- Cover and bake: Cover the roasting pan with foil and bake for 1 hour.
- Uncover and bake: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 155°F (68°C).
- Rest: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
- Slice and serve: Slice the roast against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy!
