Ingredients

3 pounds pork loin skin-on
½ teaspoons each salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
10 whole cloves

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Wash the pork and dry it with paper towels. Sprinkle the top of it with salt and pepper.
Score the skin in a cross pattern with a knife.
Add the oil, maple syrup, mustard and sugar to a small bowl and stir to combine.
Rub the marinade over the pork, then poke cloves into the cuts of the pork.
Wrap the pork in two layers of foil with the seam side at the top, then place it into a dutch oven and put on the lid.
Place the dish into the oven and roast it for 2 hours.
Remove the lid, open the foil to expose the pork loin, and roast it for a further 20 minutes so it browns slightly on top.

Notes

Be sure to use the correct cut of pork! You need Pork Loin, which is a large, rounded, thick cut. Pork Tenderloin is long, thin and often cut into medallion shapes.

Although similar, these two cuts of pork cook at different speeds, so be sure to use pork loin roast.

For a tenderloin recipe, be sure to try Garlic Honey Glazed Pork Tenderloin. Or ground pork try Spicy Pork Noodles. Got regular chops? Try this recipe for Shake and Bake Pork Chops.
