This Glazed Crown Roast of Pork is impressive and will leave your guests thinking you spent hours on it. Secret is, it’s easier than you think and I’ll show you how. This beautiful pork loin roast is wrapped like a crown, seasoned simply with salt and pepper and roasted. A delicious basting of peach (or apricot) preserves mixed with ancho chili powder glaze it to perfection.

Glazed Crown Roast of Pork

Ask your meat department butcher to cut or order a pork loin roast and he or she will tie it up for you. I typically get a 8-10 pound pork loin roast and they cut it beautifully and tie it into a crown. This feeds 8 to 10 people easily.

I also wrap aluminum foil over the bone tips to prevent them from getting burned and just after basting with the preserves and chili powder remove them.

Just look at this beauty! A quick seasoning of salt and pepper and that’s all you need. Let the incredible flavor off the meat come through.

Mid way into roasting this gets a basting of peach preserves mixed with some ancho chili powder. Feel free to use apricot too, it really incredible.

As this crown pork loin gets basted the preserves caramelize and get sticky. This is lip smacking good stuff!

I would usually serve this alongside a stuffing or mashed potatoes like my Colcannon Irish Mashed Potatoes or Whipped Potatoes with Cilantro Pesto.

This show stopper should wow the guests and the flavors are outstanding.

Slice in between each rib where your butcher made the cuts. Spoon on the pan juices and glaze. Enjoy!

  1. Hi Kevin this looks scrumptious can’t wait to try but I noticed you mentioned something about your Irish mashed potatoes do you have the recipe for that you can share? Thanking you in advance!

    1. Hi Wanda! I have not tried cooking it in the instant pot but sounds intriguing! If you try it let me know I would love to know how it turns out! Happy New Year!

  2. Has anyone tried adding a bit of pressed garlic to the glaze? If so, how many cloves of garlic. I’m thinking 2.
    I can’t cook without garlic!

  3. Hey Kevin! What a magnificant dinner centerpiece! That glaze looks so good! I’ve only made a crown roast once and that was a long time ago, I think I made a wild rice stuffing and put it in the middle of the roast. Truly an impressive and delicious meal!

    1. Hi Dorothy! This one was so amazing. We sliced and grabbed each piece with the bone and everyone just dug right in. Not daninty eaters by any means, but if ladies were present we’d use a fork and knife. 🙂
