Want to treat your guests to a spectacular meal? Plan this pork as the centerpiece of your menu. The fruity sauce enhances the meat's flavor and looks so pretty! I decorate the platter with red spiced apples and fresh parsley. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon rubbed sage |
1 teaspoon pepper |
1 boneless rolled pork loin roast (3-1/2 to 4 pounds) |
sauce: |
1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened raspberries, thawed |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1/4 cup white vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon each ground ginger, nutmeg and cloves |
1/4 cup cornstarch |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
3 to 4 drops red food coloring, optional |
Directions:
1. Combine the salt, sage and pepper; rub over entire roast. Place roast fat side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 70-80 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
2. For the sauce, drain raspberries, reserving liquid. Set berries aside. Add enough water to juice to measure 3/4 cup. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, spices and 1/2 cup raspberry juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
3. Combine cornstarch and remaining raspberry juice until smooth; stir into the saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, lemon juice, food coloring if desired and reserved raspberries.
4. Let roast stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve with raspberry sauce. Yield: 10 servings.
