12 servings
2 hours, 30 minutes total (Active 35 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 oz shallots, finely chopped
  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Large zip-top bag
  • 4–5 lb boneless pork loin roast
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup dried cherries
  • 2 ½ cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups port wine (or grape juice)
  • 2 tablespoons cherry preserves
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Steps

    1. Place rosemary, garlic, and 4 tablespoons olive oil in zip-top bag; add pork (wash hands). Seal bag and turn to coat pork. Let stand to marinate 1 hour (or overnight).
    2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Remove pork from bag (discard remaining marinade) and season with salt and pepper. Place remaining 1 tablespoon oil in sauté pan, then add pork; cook 8–10 minutes, turning often, or until browned. Place pork in large roasting pan (reserve pan drippings); roast 1–1 ¼ hours and until pork is 145°F. Remove pork from oven; let stand 10 minutes.
    3. Prepare sauce during last 20 minutes of cook time. Add shallots to same sauté pan; cook and stir 1–2 minutes or until softened. Stir in cherries, broth, port, and preserves; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until sauce reduces by about one-half. Combine cornstarch and water; then add to sauce; cook and stir 2–3 minutes more or until sauce thickens. Slice pork thinly and serve with sauce.
