A flavorful pork loin roast with a sweet and savory apricot glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, dried thyme, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper.
Mixing the spices thoroughly ensures an even coating on the pork.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork loin.
Massaging the spices into the meat enhances the flavor.
Place the pork loin on a rack in a roasting pan.
Using a rack allows air circulation for even roasting.
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Set a timer to avoid overcooking.
While the pork is roasting, heat the apricot preserves and ground cinnamon in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 30 minutes, brush half of the apricot glaze over the pork loin.
Use a basting brush for an even application.
Return the pork to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes.
Check the glaze to ensure it doesn't burn.
Brush the remaining glaze over the pork and roast for another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 155°F (68°C).
Using a meat thermometer ensures perfect doneness.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
