An easy recipe for a sweet, savoury and crunchy glaze on a juicy pork loin roast.
INstructions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Trim the fat from the roast, leaving only a quarter inch of fat on top at the most.
- Season the pork loin with salt and pepper and open roast on a rack in a 425 degree F oven for 1/2 hour.
- Combine the brown sugar and Dijon mustard into a paste and fold the chopped pecans into it.
- Remove the roast from the oven after 30 minutes and reduce the heat to 375 degrees F.
- Spread the prepared paste evenly over the top of the roast and return to the oven.
- Baste the roast about every 15 minutes, scooping up the glaze and nuts that fall off back over the top of the roast.
- Continue to roast until the internal temperature of the roast hits between 145 to 160 degrees F on a meat thermometer.
- Let the roast rest for 10 minutes after you take it out of the oven before carving and serving.
