Sweet Roast Pork Recipes

SWEET AND SIMPLE PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Stir sweet potatoes, carrots, and onion together in a slow cooker. Stir white grape juice, applesauce, and water together in a bowl. Pour 1/2 the grape juice mixture over the vegetables in the slow cooker. Place pork roast on top of the vegetables and pour remaining grape juice mixture over pork.
• Cook on Low for 10 hours. Ladle accumulated juices over the roast when serving.

ROAST PORK AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Pierce the pork all over with a fork. Combine the brown sugar, sage, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a bowl; rub all over the pork.
• Toss the sweet potatoes and onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the cayenne on a baking sheet; season with salt and black pepper. Roast, tossing once, until golden, 20 minutes; set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until golden, 5 minutes; transfer to the baking sheet with the vegetables (reserve the skillet). Roast until the sweet potatoes are tender and a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 11 to 13 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the broth to the skillet; bring to a simmer over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Stir in the mustard, chives and a few grinds of black pepper. Slice the pork; drizzle with the pan sauce. Serve with the roasted vegetables.

SWEET-AND-SOUR PORK

Stir pineapple juice mixture; add to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened., Add green pepper and reserved pineapple. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 5 minutes.

GLAZED SWEET AND SPICY PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Place roast fat side down in a shallow metal pan or iron skillet.
• Rub all surfaces of the roast with canola oil.
• Combine all the dry ingredients together to make a rub. Note: I mortar and pestle the rosemary a little to break it apart and release the flavor. You can use more or less of these dry ingredients to taste or to your perference.
• Apply the above to all surfaces of the roast. Rub them in well and return the roast to the pan fat side down.
• Drizzle maple syrup over top of the roast and let it run down the sides. Try to coat the top and sides evenly. It's okay if the syrup runs down onto the pan surface.
• Bake in a preheated 325F oven. Refer to a cookbook pork roasting chart to determine the exact baking time, depending on the weight of your roast. A 2 1/2 to 3 pound roast should take about 1 hour and 20 minutes to be done in a 325F oven.
• After the roast is done, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 20 minutes or so while still in the pan. Then use a tablespoon to gather the thick fluid (glaze) from the bottom of the pan and spoon it over the top and sides of the roast.
• Enjoy.

• Cover the pan loosely with foil, and cut several small slits in the foil to allow the steam to escape.
• Bake for 30 minutes per pound (90 min total for a 3 pound roast), basting every 30 minutes.
• Remove the foil after the last basting, and cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
• For well done pork, the thermometer should read 170 degrees.
