pork loin roast
Cook fatty side up. This way the pork fat cooks into the meat making it juicy and flavorful. Cook the roast just until it reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit and then let it rest loosely covered for 15-20 minutes. If you don’t like one of the spices in the rub simply leave it out. As I always say don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Both the rub and the glaze can be prepared in advance. The rub can be stored in a ziploc sandwich bag on the countertop and the glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I always load the roast, potatoes, carrots and onions at the same time. I

How To Make pork loin roast
-
Step 1Trim any excess fat over 1/4 inch from the pork loin.
-
Step 2In a small bowl combine brown sugar, ginger, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, thyme leaves, marjoram, cayenne pepper and crushed red pepper. Rub all over the pork loin and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
-
Step 3Heat vegetable oil in large skillet or Dutch until hot enough that a drop of water crackles and pops. Sear the roast until it is a deep golden brown on both sides. Place in a large roasting or casserole dish with the potatoes, carrots and onions. Place in 375 degree preheated oven for 1 -1 1/4 hours. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

Step 4Meanwhile in a small saucepan over low heat melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Add the pineapple juice, honey, spicy brown mustard, soy sauce, ketchup, cider vinegar, and fresh grated ginger. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Baste the roast with the glaze every 15-20 minutes. Rest the cooked loin loosely covered with aluminum foil for 15 minutes.
