How To Make roasted pork loin with honey and caramelized fruit

  • Step 1
    Mix together the salt, pepper, crushed garlic and white wine. Add the pork and let marinate about one hour in the refrigerator.
  • Step 2
    Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
  • Step 3
    Place the pork loin in a baking pan with the marinade. Drizzle olive oil and water over the top, and bake in preheated oven about one hour, occasionally basting the pork with the sauce.
  • Step 4
    Meanwhile, place chopped fruit, 2 Tbsp honey, sugar and cinnamon in a non-stick skillet over low heat for about 30 minutes until caramelized, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 5
    In another skillet, add 2 Tbsp honey, pepper and Dijon mustard. Stir, and bring to a boil over low heat for about two to three minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 6
    Remove pork from oven. Drizzle the honey sauce on top, and then top with the caramelized fruit. Serve immediately.
