Herb Roasted Pork

Ingredients

1 teaspoon rubbed sage

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 (5 pound) boneless pork loin

½ cup sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

¼ cup vinegar

¼ cup water

2 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).  In a bowl, combine sage, salt, pepper, and garlic. Rub thoroughly all over pork. Place pork in an uncovered roasting pan on the middle oven rack.  Bake in the preheated oven approximately 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), depending upon your desired doneness.  Meanwhile, place sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, water, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to bubble and thicken slightly. Brush roast with glaze 3 or 4 times during the last 1/2 hour of cooking. Pour remaining glaze over roast and serve.

Serve with Twice baked cheddar potato and green beans with cranberries.
