Maple Baked Pork Loin Roast

Found this one online this weekend and thought I would give it a try. It was pretty good and very tender. Had a very sweet and tangy taste. All my after pictures looked gross since it had a red glaze on top with the ketchup soooo the looks are a little deceiving in this one but it was very yummy. Let me know if you try it.

* 1 tablespoon canola oil
* 1 (4 pound) boneless pork loin roast
* salt and pepper to taste
* all-purpose flour for dredging
* 3/4 cup maple syrup
* 3/4 cup ketchup
* 1/3 cup water
* 1 tablespoon minced garlic



DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Meanwhile, season the pork roast with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, and shake off excess. Sear in hot oil until browned on all sides, about 1 minute per side.
3. Place onto a large sheet of aluminum foil set on top of a baking sheet; set aside. Stir together the maple syrup, ketchup, water, and garlic. Pour 3/4 of this sauce over the pork.

Fold the foil over the pork, and seal to form a packet.


4. Bake in preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 1 hour 45 minutes. Carefully open up the foil packet, and broil for a few minutes until the sauce glazes the meat. Serve with remaining sauce.



Thats whats delectable for dinner tonight!
