This was wonderful! I didn't have marmalade on hand so I used jalapeno jelly instead. I pan browned the sides of the roast before putting it in the baking pan and then warmed the cranberry mixture in he skillet with the roast drippings. I baked the roast on 325 for about 45 minutes, basting it with the cranberry mixture every 15 minutes or so. I used a probe thermometer and when the ends hit 140 I took it out and let it rest about 20 minutes before cutting it. Maybe I got lucky with the roast my DH picked out because it was super juicy and tender all the way through. I had some sweet potato rounds in the freezer as well as a large can of sweet potatoes and I mashed them with the can juice as they cooked on the stove with just a little butter and salt and pepper, then I put the mixture in a casserole and into the oven to brown the top. Made some garlicky green beans. It was a great meal! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Moist, tasty, & an eye appetizing presentation! This is a great recipe to use up the Holiday cranberry sauce. I was very pleased how tender the pork turned out. Cooking for two, I always cut my pork loins into 1 lb pcs. I roasted at 325 for 30 mins, and halved the basting ingredients and basted as instructed. Thanks for sharing Barby.
