Ingredients:

2 lb pork loin roast
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup apple cider
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh cranberries
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp fresh thyme (optional)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub the pork loin with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast the pork loin for 45-50 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
While the pork is roasting, prepare the sauce: in a small saucepan, combine apple cider, Dijon mustard, cranberries, and honey. Bring to a simmer for 5-7 minutes, mashing the cranberries as they soften.
Remove from heat and stir in fresh thyme if using. Drizzle the glaze over the roasted pork loin.
Slice the pork loin and serve with the cranberry-Dijon sauce and apple cider glaze for a sweet and savory finish.
