Apricot & Mustard- Glazed Pork Roast


This is a Weight Watchers recipe, but don't let that defer you.... it is amazing!!!!
It is one of my all time favorites. It is so easy... but tastes like it would be so hard.
(I do have to add that it is a lot easier if you have a basting brush and an instant-read thermometer)

Ingredients:

3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp dried rosemary
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 lb. pork loin roast
4 tbsp apricot jam
2 tbsp dijon mustard

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray a roasting pan with nonstick spray.

2. Stir together the garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the pork. Place the pork in pan and roast for 30 minutes.

3. Stir together the jam and mustard in a small bowl and brush all over the pork. Continue to cook the pork until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees (you put the thermometer in the meat before returning to oven.)

The book says that it should cook for about 10 minutes to get to 160 degrees, but I have found that it takes more like 30 minutes with my oven.

4. Cut into slices and enjoy!!!! I like to cut up potatoes and roast with the pork.
