Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉ and arrange the rack in the middle of the oven.
- Drizzle the olive oil all over the pork loin. Season with thyme, nutmeg, allspice, salt and pepper on all sides evenly.
- Heat a large 12 inch cast iron pan with a little bit of olive oil, then brown the pork on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Sear until it's a deep golden brown and easily releases from the pan. Remove from heat.
- Drizzle honey on all sides of the pork loin then grate some orange zest over it.
- Cover with aluminum foil, transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and finish roasting for another 30 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork reads anywhere from 145℉ to 160℉.
- Meanwhile prepare the cranberry sauce. I used my own cranberry sauce recipe, however, store bought cranberry sauce will work as well.
- Transfer the pork roast to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 15 to 20 minutes before slicing into it.
- Slice then top with cranberry sauce before serving it.

Notes
- The best way to tell when your pork is done is to take its internal temperature using a meat thermometer that's inserted in the center part of the pork and the temperature reads at least 145F/62.8C to 155F/68.3C.
- If you don't own a meat thermometer, pierce the pork in the middle with a fork and if the juices run clear, the meat is done.
