Festive Orange Cranberry Stuffed Pork Loin

Feeling Festive: Orange and Cranberry Stuffed Pork Loin

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that’s perfect for the holiday season: Orange and Cranberry Stuffed Pork Loin. The combination of tangy cranberries, zesty orange, and juicy pork creates a dish that is both comforting and elegant.

I start by preparing a simple stuffing mixture of fresh cranberries, diced oranges, breadcrumbs, and a touch of cinnamon. The tartness of the cranberries pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the orange, while the cinnamon adds a warm, cozy flavor.

To prepare the pork loin, I carefully butterfly it and evenly spread the stuffing mixture inside. Then, I roll it up tightly and tie it with kitchen twine to ensure that the filling stays in place while it cooks.

I place the stuffed pork loin in the oven and let it roast until the meat is tender and juicy, and the stuffing is caramelized and fragrant. The aroma of roasted pork, cranberries, and orange fills the kitchen, creating a truly inviting atmosphere.

For a unique twist on this classic dish, try adding a handful of chopped pecans to the stuffing mixture. The nutty crunch and rich flavor of the pecans add another dimension to the dish, making it even more delicious.
