Instant Pot® Orange-Cranberry-Balsamic Pork Loin

It was a wonderful combination of flavors, but a little sweet for me. I am thinking of cutting way down on the brown sugar, changing the clove to cinnamon and adding a Granny Smith apple cut up to the pot.

Wonderful way to make pork. The Insta Pot helps make the meat very tender and the cranberry/orange flavoring is a great combination. I might consider thickening the sauce (topping) some and perhaps adding some sugar or another sweetener.

This pork came out so delicious... my whole family said it was the best ever.. I did not use cranberries, but I used mandarin oranges instead and added them after the meat was done.

I made this with 3 pork loin slices about 1-1/2" thick. 12 minutes wasn't long enough so I cooked it another 12 or 15 minutes to get it fork tender. I also thickened the sauce more. It's delicious. Did not add jalepeno. That wouldn't go over here. Certainly will make it again!

love the touch of jalapenos.

This is one of the first recipes on Allrecipes that my family asked me never to make again. They walked into the kitchen as I was preparing it and had to leave because of the cooking aroma. They also found it too sweet even though I cut the sugar by half as other reviewers suggested. Other than the sugar, I followed the recipe exactly as written. Unfortunately when I open my instant pot and inserted my meat thermometer, the pork was nowhere near cooked (was 32C instead of needed 65-70C). So, with no other option I had to close the pot, and pressure cook it a second time as instructed in the recipe. Although the pork came out somewhat juicy, it was tough. Pork loin is one of my family’s favourite meats, but not done this way. Sorry.

This was amazing. I used 3 lbs of pork loin. Increased ingredients accordingly. Modifications: 1/2 tsp rosemary, cut brown sugar to 1/4 cup, reduced the remaining liquid for 15 min after removing pork and fruit chunks. SO GOOD.

I accidentally used twice as much cranberries as called for (love cranberries not too sweet) and thought the balance of sweet to tart was just right. Served with roasted garlic sweet potato wedges, green beans and polenta to balance the dish. We like a thicker sauce so will omit 1/2 cup water next time. Might also try adding a minced shallot after browning the pork.

Excellent and very simple recipe! Only substitute I made was to use 2 tablespoons of maple syrup instead of the brown sugar. Delicious!

Loved it! Very sweet. If you’re not into that, reduce or do away with the brown sugar.
