Marinade:

Put marinade into a large sealable plastic bag (like a Ziploc bag).
Meat Preparation:
Lightly score the fat layer of the pork loin.
Place meat in bag with marinade.
Marinate up to 8 hours in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.
Heat oven to 375\u00b0F.
Remove pork from marinade.
Wipe most of marinade off of pork leaving some on fat layer to brown.
Roast uncovered, fat side up, for approximately 1 hour (until internal temperature reaches 137\u00b0F).
If the top gets too browned, cover for a few minutes, but uncover at the end of cooking time.
Allow to rest at least 15 minutes before slicing.
