15 mins
Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a more tender and flavorful result. (15 minutes)
For a richer flavor, consider searing the pork roast in a hot pan before placing it in the oven bag. This will add a beautiful crust and depth of flavor.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cherries or even add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the cherry mixture for a more complex flavor profile.
Ensure the oven bag is properly sealed to prevent any leaks during cooking.
If the roast starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent the oven bag with foil during the last hour of cooking.
