Servings: 10
Taste of Home

If you're looking for a recipe that will wow your dinner guests, this crown roast of pork recipe is exactly what you need. It looks elegant and sophisticated, but it's actually really easy to make.

When it comes to spectacular recipes to serve at a holiday gathering, a crown roast of pork recipe should be at the top of the list. The beautiful presentation makes it a suitable centerpiece if you’re looking for Christmas mains that aren’t ham, and the pork roast itself is full-flavored, juicy and tender. Though it may seem like a difficult dish to conquer, the prep and cooking are actually a lot easier than you may think.
Recipe by: Betty Claycomb ~ Alverton, Pennsylvania


    Ingredients:
  • 1 pork loin crown roast (10 to 12 ribs, about 6 to 8 pounds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • Mushroom Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 3 cups cubed day-old bread
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/3 cup apricot preserves
  • 1 cup whole fresh cranberries, optional

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Place roast, rib ends up, in a shallow roasting pan; sprinkle with seasoned salt. Cover rib ends with foil. Bake, uncovered, for 1-1/4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and celery; saute until tender. Stir in bread cubes, salt and pepper. Spoon around roast. Brush sides of roast with preserves. Bake until a thermometer inserted into meat between ribs reads 145°, 45-60 minutes. Remove foil; let meat stand 10 minutes before slicing.
  • If desired, thread cranberries on a 20-in. string or thread. Transfer roast to a serving platter. Loop cranberry string in and out of rib ends. Slice between ribs to serve.
  • Serve and enjoy!
