Notes
This recipe is for a boneless pork loin roast, not to be confused with the thinner and smaller pork tenderloin. Feel free to brine prior to cooking if desired. Here is my go to Pork Brine recipe.For a 3-4 pound boneless pork loin, roast at 350°F for 20 minutes per pound.
Before using glaze, divide it into two separate bowls. 1 1/2 cups is needed for basting and glazing pork. If desired, the other 1 1/2 cups is for serving at the table.
Do not consume glaze that was used for basting pork, as the bacteria in the meat can cause food poisoning.
