Roasted Pork Loin with Muscadine Pepper Jelly Glaze

Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons Duplin Gourmet Muscadine Pepper Jelly
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
• 3-pound, skin-on pork loin roast
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Dash of kosher salt and ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Line a baking pan with nonstick foil.
2. Whisk together pepper jelly, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. (You can melt the jelly a bit in the microwave for about 15 to 20 seconds to make it easier to combine.)
3. Sprinkle the underside of the pork loin roast with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
4. Place the roast in the prepared pan skin-side up. Pour the pepper jelly mixture evenly over the top, then sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
5. Bring the edges of the foil up to within 1-inch around the pork roast and crimp the corners so it stays in place.
6. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 45 minutes.
7. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees, pull back the foil, score the skin, and roast an additional 20 minutes. Turn off the oven, leaving the roast inside, and let it sit for 30 minutes.
8. Slice into 1-inch thick slabs to serve. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
