Ingredients

1 (3 lb) Pork loin top roast, boneless, lean
1 Garlic clove, minced
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon chili powder, divided
1/2 Cup apple jelly
1/2 Cup barbecue sauce
1 1/4 Cups water

Instructions

Combine garlic, salt and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and rub over roast. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, bake, uncovered, at 350�F for 30 minutes.
In a small saucepan, combine the apple jelly, barbecue sauce and remaining chili powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Pour over roast and bake for 40-50 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160�F, basting occasionally. Remove roast and keep warm.
Stir drippings in pan to loosen browned bits; pour into a measuring cup, skim fat. Add 1 1/4 cups water. Transfer to a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat; serve with the roast.
