 Baste with glaze during the last 15 minutes of roasting. |
 Insert slivers of garlic into slits all around the roast. Inject with injection liquid. |
 Roast to an internal temperature of 148^ or until juices run clear. About 80 minutes in my convection oven. |
 Tent cooked roast lightly with foil and let rest for at least 10 minutes while preparing pan sauce. |
 Deglaze roasting pan with sauce; scraping all fond from pan. |
 Reduce by about half. Remove from heat and strain. Mount final sauce with cold sweet butter. |
 Roast will be pink in the middle. Trichinosis is killed at 137^. The roast cooked to 148^ and rested which raised temperature by at least 5^ more. |

This is a tasty Pork Loin Roast. The glaze and sauce are from "Cajun-Creole Cooking" by Terry Thompson published in 1985. I have added an injection liquid of melted butter and orange juice which keeps the pork very moist while cooking and some additional spices. I cooked the roast to 148^ then rested it for 15 minutes before slicing. The meat is slightly pink in the middle but juices run clear. I served it with brown rice and artichoke hearts/pearl onions in a Dijon Mustard & Horseradish Bechamel sauce. Wine: A fruity Pinot Noir. Fenestra 2007 Livermore Valley Pinot Noir worked for us.
