    2 tablespoons seasoning salt

    Take a long knife and cut two holes, evenly spaced, into the loin.
    Insert frozen pesto into the holes.
    Lay out bay leaves on pan and place pork loin on top.
    Rub loin with seasoning salt and spoon minced garlic over top.
    Chop fresh thyme and add vinager in a pouring container.
    Slowly pour a small amount onto the loin making sure not to cause the garlic to fall off.
    Place in the oven, checking every 15 minutes and pouring more of the vinegar over the top.
    Cook for 2 hours.
