Yum. Just yum. This is one of those recipes that comes together with zero expectations and somehow turns into a full-on dinner party showpiece.

When we first dreamed this up, the only real instinct was that Berry & Brine’s apple apricot & onion chutney would be magic with pork loin. And wow… intuition absolutely delivered. The chutney pulls double duty here: it marinates the pork with tangy sweetness and then roasts into this glossy, flavourful crust that feels incredibly intentional (even though it’s wildly simple).

Pair that with delicately roasted butternut squash and thick wedges of fennel, and suddenly you’ve got a meal that feels generous and welcoming — the kind of winter dinner that makes people linger at the table a little longer. It’s warm, comforting, and elegant without trying too hard.

This is our favourite kind of recipe: a few quality ingredients, minimal prep, and maximum payoff. Everything cooks together on one pan, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying your evening. Winter is hard enough — let’s not overcomplicate dinner.

The apple apricot & onion chutney has quickly become one of those pantry staples that instantly elevates whatever you’re cooking. Sweet, savoury, tangy, and rich, it brings serious depth with almost no effort on your part. We’re already dreaming up new ways to use it and can’t wait for the next small-batch release.

If you’re hosting friends, cooking for family, or just want a cozy weekend meal that feels special, this roasted pork loin delivers every time.

Pork Loin

Pork loin is lean, tender, and perfect for roasting. When seasoned well and paired with chutney, it becomes juicy and flavourful with a beautiful caramelised exterior. Trimmed fat keeps things clean while still allowing the meat to stay moist.
Recommendation: 2–3 lb center-cut pork loin.

Apple Apricot & Onion Chutney

This is the flavour powerhouse. Sweet apple, tangy apricot, and savoury onion combine into a rich chutney that works as both marinade and glaze. It creates a gorgeous crust while infusing the pork with deep, layered flavour.
Recommendation: Berry & Brine apple apricot & onion chutney.

Olive Oil

Olive oil helps everything roast evenly and adds richness to both the vegetables and chutney marinade. Dividing it keeps each element perfectly coated.
Recommendation: Extra virgin olive oil.

Apple Cider Vinegar

A splash of ACV brightens the chutney and cuts through the richness of the pork. It adds just enough acidity to balance everything beautifully.
Recommendation: Raw or filtered apple cider vinegar.

Butternut Squash

Sweet, creamy butternut squash roasts into tender caramelised cubes that soak up all those savoury juices. Blanching first speeds roasting and keeps the texture perfect.
Recommendation: Small, firm squash with deep orange flesh.

Fennel Bulb

Roasted fennel becomes mellow, slightly sweet, and beautifully tender. Those thick wedges hold their shape and add subtle anise flavour that pairs surprisingly well with pork and fruit.
Recommendation: Large fresh fennel bulb with bright fronds.

Salt & Pepper

Simple seasoning makes all the difference — bringing out natural sweetness in the veggies and deepening the savoury notes of the pork.
Recommendation: Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
