Glazed Pork Loin

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350a F.

2. 2

   Take pork roast and place it, fat side up, in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

3. 3

   If you have a fatty top layer, slice it diagonally in both directions (top left, to bottom right; top right, to bottom left) to create a diamond pattern.

4. 4

   Take cloves and press them firmly into the top layer of fat, at all the points where the diagonal lines intersect.

5. 5

   Season generously with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   In a medium saucepan, combine apricot and orange preserves, honey, ginger, allspice and rosemary over medium heat, and bring to a boil.

7. 7

   Lower heat and simmer mixture until it reduces and thickens up, about 5 minutes. Set aside 1 cup to serve with the pork.

8. 8

   Bake for 1 hour, or until internal temperature is 160u00b0 when checked with a meat thermometer, basting every 15-20 minutes with glaze.

9. 9

   Let pork stand for 10 minutes before serving.
