Pork Loin With Orange Dijon Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 -5 lbs rolled boneless pork loin roast
8 large garlic cloves (halved) (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon allspice
black pepper
ORANGE DIJON SAUCE
2 (12 ounce) jars orange marmalade
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ginger powder
5 fresh minced garlic cloves

Preparation

Set oven to 325 degrees F.
Lightly grease a 13\" x 9\" baking dish.
Using a small sharp knife slice small slits all over in the roast, then stuff the garlic clove halves into the slits (this is only optional I like to do this).
Rub the olive oil all over the roast.
In a small bowl combine first 5 spice ingredients; rub spices all over pork loin to coat evenly.
Place the roast in prepared pan.
Bake for 1 hour.
Remove from oven and cover with foil; bake for 30 minutes more, or until a roast tests done.
Meanwhile in a saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the ingredients are well combined and the marmalade has softened.
Serve pork loin with the sauce.
Note: the sauce recipe yields approx 2 cups, if desired, the sauce may be doubled.
