Pork- Holiday Glazed Roast Pork with Apples

List of Ingredients


1 (4-lb.) boneless pork loin roast
1/2 t. salt
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup ketchup
2 T. soy sauce
1 T. cornstarch
1-1/2 t. Tabasco pepper sauce
1 large white onion, cut in half and cut in 1/2-inch thick slices
1 T. butter or margarine
2 T. vegetable oil
Large red cooking apples, cored and sliced
Rosemary sprigs (optional)




Recipe

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Sprinkle pork roast with salt; place fat side up in open roasting pan. Roast pork 1-1/2 hours or until the thermometer inserted in center reaches 160 degrees.

Meanwhile, combine the red wine vinegar, sugar, water, ketchup, soy sauce, cornstarch and pepper sauce in a 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens; stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Set aside half of this sauce mixture.

During the last 30 minutes the pork is roasting, brush pork several times with half of the sauce mixture. When the pork has finished roasting, let stand 15 minutes for easier carving.

Cook onion in butter and oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat for 10 minutes; stir occasionally. Add apple slices; cook 5 minutes or until onions and apples are tender. Toss apples and onions with remaining sauce mixture.

To serve, place pork on a large platter. Arrange onion and apple mixture with pork on platter. Garnish with rosemary sprigs if desired.
