This entrée will make you smile. The combination of apricot preserves with the Dijon mustard and the fresh rosemary fills the kitchen with a fabulous aroma while it's cooking. Plus, I think you'll enjoy the distinctive flavor of the glaze. The juices should run when you slice the roast, because the glaze holds them all inside.

Preparation Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time: About 1 Hour

Ingredients: 1/2 cup sugar-free apricot preserves
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
3-pound lean pork roast
Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325° F. Line a shallow baking pan with foil to aid in clean up.

2. Microwave the sugar-free apricot preserves for about 45 seconds to 1 minute on high to melt (depending on the microwave, you may have to heat for another 30 seconds).

3. In a small bowl, combine the melted preserves, mustard, rosemary, salt and pepper. Divide the glaze in half in two separate bowls. Brush half the glaze on the roast. Set the other half of the glaze aside.

4. Place the pork roast in the pan and roast it in the oven for 1 hour or until the meat thermometer registers between 150° and 155°F as it will continue to cook after you remove it from the oven. Remove the meat from the oven and cover with foil to keep it warm. Let stand for 15 minutes.

5. Slice the roast, and drizzle with the pan juices. Serve with the remaining glaze.
