Roasted Pork with Blackberry Sauce

Here’s a fancy dinner recipe that really isn’t fancy at all:  Roasted Pork with Blackberry Sauce

Today I’m highlighting a dinner recipe that is quick and easy, and it’s definitely pretty enough for holiday entertaining.

The recipe begins with a Smithfield Original Recipe Marinated Pork Loin Filet.  I love this product because it comes already marinated and perfectly seasoned for easy, throw-it-in-the-oven roasting.  While the pork is in the oven, a simple blackberry sauce is prepared to serve along with it.

When blackberries are simmered, they break down into a beautiful, thick sauce.. perfect for topping a beautiful piece of roasted pork!  And what I love most about this recipe is that the blackberry sauce looks so beautiful for a special holiday dinner.

Isn’t it just gorgeous?

Add some fresh parsley alongside the roasted pork with blackberry sauce, and the presentation is festive enough for a holiday table.

Slices of this pork turn out to be tender and juicy.  Top the slices with blackberry sauce, and that’s a beautiful main dish for you.  The sauce is sweet, and it’s scented lightly with cinnamon.  It’s the perfect pairing for roasted pork.
