Maple-Glazed Pork Roast with Orange Essence

Ingredients: 

• 1 boneless Swift Pork Loin Roast
• ½ C maple syrup
• ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp grated orange zest
• Pinch ground cloves
• Pinch cayenne pepper
• ¾ tsp table salt 
• ½ tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tsp vegetable oil

Directions: 

1. Pre-heat the oven to 325ºF and move the oven rack to the middle position. 
2. Combine maple syrup, cinnamon, cloves, orange zest, and cayenne pepper together in a measuring cup. 
3. Pat Swift Pork Loin Roast dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
4. Heat oil in an ovenproof 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat and place Swift Pork Loin Roast fat-side down and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. 
5. Use tongs to rotate the roast one-quarter turn, repeat until the roast is browned on all sides and transfer to a plate. 
6. Add maple syrup mixture to the skillet and cook until fragrant on medium heat. 
7. Remove the skillet from heat and place roast in the skillet while coating with the glaze on all sides. 
8. Place the skillet in the oven and roast until the center registers 135 degrees, about 35 to 45 minutes. Be sure to coat the roast with the glaze twice during cooking. 
9. Transfer the roast to a carving board while allowing the glaze to thicken in the pan for about 5 minutes. 
10. Pour the thickened glaze over the roast and let it rest another 15 minutes before cutting into 1/4 inch slices to serve. 
11. Enjoy!
