INGREDIENTS About a 3-pound pork loin roast
1 (12-ounce) jar cherry jam or preserves
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 tablespoons slivered toasted almonds, toasted
Salt and pepper, to tastePlace roast in a shallow baking pan with a small amount of water. Roast, uncovered, at 325 degrees for about 2 hours.
About 30 minutes before roasting time is complete, in a saucepan, combine cherry jam or preserves, corn syrup, vinegar and spices. Heat to boiling, stirring frequently; reduce heat to simmer and cook 2 more minutes. Add toasted almonds, if using.
When meat has roasted for 2 hours, remove from oven and spoon enough cherry sauce over the roast to glaze. Return to oven for about 30 additional minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees. Baste roast with sauce several times during last 30 minutes. Serve remaining cherry sauce with the roast.
