Pork Roast with Tropical Fruit Sauce
Pork Roast with Tropical Fruit Sauce
1 Publix Boneless Pork Roast (about 1 1/2 lbs)
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
2 tablespoons Vigo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 (24-ounce) jar Del Monte Sunfresh Tropical Mixed Fruit (pineapple and papaya), undrained
1/2 cup Swanson Natural Goodness Chicken Broth
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1. Preheat oven to 400F. Season pork with 1/2 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper; set aside. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high heat 3-4 minutes.
2. Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add pork to pan (wash hands); cook 5 minutes, turning often, or until well browned.
3. Transfer pork to a foil-lined baking sheet (for ease in cleanup). Bake 35-40 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160F (for medium). Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. Let meat rest 5 minutes before slicing.
4. During last 15 minutes of bake time, combine in medium saucepan, fruit (with syrup), broth, molasses, pine nuts, cinnamon, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a boil on medium heat.
5. Combine cornstarch and water in small bowl until well blended. Add to sauce and return to boiling; cook 2-3 minutes, stirring often, or until sauce begins to thicken. Slice pork and top with fruit sauce; serve.
