I don’t know why Fall makes me think of pork, or roasts, but I cook them more often and this is one that uses apple cider. Apple cider is Fall all the way! Easy recipe to throw together the night before , or the morning even. The pork needs to marinate for at least 12 hours and you could serve it with applesauce.

Ingredients

2 quarts apple cider

1/4 cup kosher salt

1/2 cup fresh sage, chopped up and divided

2 tablespoons freshly ground cracked peppercorns.

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 lbs boneless pork loin

Directions

Combine cider, salt and sage. Stir together in a bowl until the salt dissolved. I just stir and leave it for five minutes. Take the pork loin and place in a plastic bag. Pour your mixture over the pork and let sit for about 12 hours. Remove pork from brine and pat dry. Heat some oil in a skillet on the stove and sprinkle a little of your pepper mix over pork. Place in heated oil to cook on sides to lightly brown. Do not let it sit int he pan, you only want to brown the sides. Place pork in a baking dish sprinkle with remaining pepper and sage.

Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes to an hour. Pork will be done when a meat thermometer reads 160.

Easy and rather quick this makes a nice Sunday fall dinner for our family. 🙂 Enjoy! This recipe was shared by Have Sippy’s contributing recipe blogger, Melanie. You can enjoy more recipes by checking out her blog- My Side Of Life, Connect by Facebook and/or Twitter too!
