Pork Roast with Fruit Sauce

Directions

1. Place roast on rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours.
2. In a saucepan combine apple jelly, apple juice and cardamon; cook and stir over medium heat until smooth and heated through. Set aside 1/2 cup. Brush some of the remaining sauce over the roast.
3. Bake 40 to 60 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160 to 170 degrees. Brush with sauce every 20 minutes. Transfer roast to a serving platter and keep warm.
4. Pour pan drippings into a saucepan. Add apricots and reserved fruit sauce. Cook over medium high heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Add to apricot mixture. Cook and stir until mixture boils, about 2 minutes.
