Fall into Cooking Featured Recipe: Herbed Pork Roast and Cranberry-Pine Nut Chutney from Semi-Homemade: The Complete Cookbook by Sandra Lee

Serves 4

Ingredients

PORK ROAST
2 1⁄2 pounds boneless pork loin roast, rinsed and patted dry
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons herbes de Provence, McCormick®
1 teaspoon onion powder, McCormick®
1 tablespoon crushed garlic, Christopher Ranch®
1 tablespoon lemon juice, ReaLemon®

CHUTNEY
1 can (16-ounce) whole cranberry sauce, Ocean Spray®
1⁄3 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
1 teaspoon lemon juice, ReaLemon®
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence, McCormick®
1⁄4 teaspoon crushed garlic, Christopher Ranch®

Preheat oven to 450°F.

For the roast, season pork roast with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, stir together herbes de Provence, onion powder, garlic, and lemon juice. Rub over pork roast and place roast in shallow roasting pan. Place roast in oven and reduce heat to 325°F. Roast for 30 minutes per pound or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. (Roast will continue to cook up to 170°F out of the oven.) Let pork roast rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

For the chutney, combine all chutney ingredients and stir thoroughly. Serve chutney at room temperature over pork roast.

Tip: Herbes de Provence is a blend of dry herbs most commonly used in southern France. It usually contains basil, fennel seeds, lavender, marjoram, rosemary, sage, summer savory, and thyme.
