Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lb boneless pork loin
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 ripe Bosc or Anjou pears, chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 2. Season the pork loin generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the pork on all sides until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. 3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add apple cider and maple syrup, scraping up brown bits from the bottom.
  4. 4. Return the pork to the skillet, pouring half of the glaze over it. Transfer everything to a baking dish and bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  5. 5. In the last 15 minutes of baking, add chopped pears around the pork along with remaining glaze.
  6. 6. Let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
