Pork Loin with Apple Cider Glaze

Ingredients:

• 2 lb pork loin (from R Family Farms)

• 1 cup apple cider (preferably fresh)

• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 2 tbsp honey

• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (plus more for garnish)

• 2 apples (sliced)

• 1 large onion (sliced)

• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Sear the Pork Loin:

   • Season the pork loin generously with salt and pepper.

   • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Prepare the Glaze:

   • In a small saucepan, combine apple cider, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and fresh rosemary.

   • Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it cook until reduced by half (about 10 minutes). Remove rosemary sprigs and set the glaze aside.

4. Roast the Pork:

   • In the same skillet, add the sliced apples and onions, creating a bed for the pork loin.

   • Place the seared pork loin on top of the apples and onions.

   • Brush the pork with some of the apple cider glaze, reserving the rest for later.

   • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

5. Finish with Glaze:

   • Remove the pork from the oven and brush it generously with more apple cider glaze.

   • Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

6. Serve:

   • Slice the pork loin and serve it alongside the roasted apples and onions.

   • Drizzle with any remaining apple cider glaze and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.
