– **Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This moderate temperature will cook the pork slowly and evenly, allowing it to stay juicy and tender.
– **Roast the Pork Loin**: Place the seared pork loin on a roasting pan or a baking sheet. Spoon a few tablespoons of the cranberry glaze over the top of the pork loin to coat it evenly. Reserve the rest of the glaze to use later.
– **Roast in the Oven**: Roast the pork loin in the oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the pork loin, so it’s a good idea to use a meat thermometer to ensure it’s cooked to perfection.
– **Baste with Glaze**: About halfway through cooking, baste the pork loin with the remaining cranberry glaze. This will keep the meat moist and add flavor.
#### **4. Rest the Pork Loin**
Once the pork loin reaches the proper temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring that each slice is tender and juicy.

### **How to Serve Cranberry Glazed Pork Loin**
Cranberry glazed pork loin is a beautifully flavorful dish that pairs well with a variety of sides. Here are some excellent options to serve alongside your pork:
#### **1. Roasted Vegetables**: Roasted carrots, parsnips, or Brussels sprouts are a fantastic complement to the rich flavor of the pork. The slight caramelization from roasting adds a sweet, savory touch that pairs perfectly with the cranberry glaze.
#### **2. Mashed Potatoes**: A classic pairing with pork, mashed potatoes (either traditional or garlic-infused) are a great way to soak up the delicious cranberry glaze.
#### **3. Rice Pilaf**: A light, aromatic rice pilaf made with herbs and perhaps a few toasted nuts is a great choice to balance out the richness of the pork and glaze.
#### **4. Salad**: A crisp salad with a tangy vinaigrette will cut through the richness of the pork and add freshness to the meal. Consider a mixed green salad with goat cheese, walnuts, and a balsamic vinaigrette.
#### **5. Cranberry Sauce**: If you want to take the cranberry theme even further, serve the pork loin with a side of homemade cranberry sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
