  • 1 0.3 cup of chopped fresh or partially thawed frozen cranberries
  • 2 tsp of sugar
  • 0.5 cup of butter
  • 1 cup of chopped onion
  • 4 0.5 oz package of herb-seasoned stuffing mix
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup of peeled and diced orange
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 0.5 tsp of grated orange peel
  • 1 0.8 to 3-pound boneless center cut pork loin
  • 0.3 cup of currant jelly
  • 1 tbsp of cranberry juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toss the cranberries with the sugar in a small bowl and set aside. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Cook and stir until the onion is tender and remove from heat. Mix in the stuffing mix, chicken broth, diced orange, egg, and the orange peel. Add the cranberry-sugar mixture and toss lightly. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butterfly the pork loin by cutting lengthwise almost to but not through the bottom and open the pork loin like a book. Cover the pork loin with plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet. Remove the plastic wrap and spread the pork loin with the stuffing mix. Fold the sides of the pork loin back together like the cov- ers of a book and tie with cotton string at 2 inch intervals. Place the leftover stuffing mix in a covered casserole dish and bake with the pork loin during the last 45 minutes of cooking time. Place the pork loin on the rack in a foil-lined roasting pan and insert a meat thermometer in the center of the stuffing. Bake the pork loin for about 30 minutes per pound until the temperature reaches 155 degrees. Combine the jelly and the cranberry juice and brush half of the mixture over the pork loin after the first 45 minutes in the oven. Roast for 30 minutes more and brush with the remaining jelly mixture. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. Be Sure To Check Out Our Sponsor Do you need a website?
