Equipment

Ingredients

6 lbs Pork lion
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp Olive oil
2 cups Cranberry glaze, suce or compote or more if needed

Instructions

Prepare the cranberry glaze by simmering cranberries with water, cinnamon, citrus zest, nutmeg, and coconut sugar until the mixture thickens into a glossy sauce.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 F, and prepare the pork loin by patting it dry and seasoning it generously with salt and pepper.
3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown. This step locks in the juices.
4. Brush the glaze over the pork roast, then again halfway through cooking, then again before serving.
5. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let it rest before slicing to ensure maximum juiciness.
