Pomegranate Balsamic Pork Sirloin Roast with Garlic & Rosemary
Pomegranate Balsamic Pork Roast
Description
Juicy pork sirloin roast is coated with a sweet-savory glaze made with Pomegranate Dark Balsamic, Jalapeño Olive Oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, and fresh rosemary. The result is a tender roasted pork dinner with a glossy pomegranate balsamic finish and just a gentle warmth from the olive oil.
Recipe Overview
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 50–65 minutes
Rest Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes
Serves: 6–8
Ingredients
1 pork sirloin roast, 2–3 pounds
⅓ cup Pomegranate Dark Balsamic, plus extra for finishing
2 tablespoons Jalapeño Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1½ teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels. Season all sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together Pomegranate Dark Balsamic, Jalapeño Olive Oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and rosemary until smooth and glossy.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons of the clean glaze before brushing any onto the pork. Set the reserved glaze aside for finishing after roasting.
• Place the pork roast in a roasting pan or baking dish and brush all sides with about half of the remaining glaze.
• Roast uncovered for 50–65 minutes, brushing once or twice with the remaining glaze during cooking, until the thickest part of the pork reaches 145°F.
• During the final 10 minutes of roasting, brush the pork once more so the glaze can caramelize without burning.
• Remove from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Slice against the grain and drizzle lightly with the reserved clean glaze or a small amount of fresh Pomegranate Dark Balsamic just before serving.
Chef’s Tip
Use a meat thermometer instead of guessing by time. Pork roast is safe and juicy at 145°F after resting, and pulling it at the right temperature helps prevent dry, overcooked pork.
Flavor Variations
• Blackberry Dark Balsamic adds a deeper berry-rich glaze that pairs beautifully with roasted pork
• Fig Dark Balsamic creates an earthy, slightly jammy finish with the garlic and rosemary
• Bordeaux Cherry Dark Balsamic gives the roast a bold sweet-savory flavor that works well for entertaining
• Garlic Infused Olive Oil can replace Jalapeño Olive Oil for a milder, more classic roasted garlic flavor
• Add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup to the glaze if you prefer a slightly sweeter finish
Pairings
Serve with garlic mashed potatoes, roasted fingerling potatoes, wild rice pilaf, roasted Brussels sprouts, green beans, honey glazed carrots, apple slaw, or a crisp seasonal salad.

Recipe Notes
The Dijon mustard helps the glaze cling to the pork and adds depth without making the roast taste strongly of mustard. Jalapeño Olive Oil adds gentle warmth, not overwhelming heat. If using a smaller pork tenderloin instead of a roast, reduce the cooking time and begin checking the internal temperature around 25 minutes.
