JUICY HERBED PORK LOIN WITH CURRANT SAUCE
This delicious recipe is actually a combination of three different recipes, with a unique cooking method to keep the loin juicy. When my husband bought a 12 pound pork loin (because it was "on sale"), I panicked! I didn't have much experience cooking pork loin, and I knew that they can come out tough and tasteless if cooked improperly. I cut the loin into three 4-pound portions and threw them in the freezer, while I scoured the internet and cook books for a recipe and cooking directions. Now, this recipe is a family favorite! This would be wonderful for a holiday meal, or anytime you want to create something that will "wow" your family!

Steps:
- Pork Loin Directions-------------.
- Set oven to 475 degrees.
- Pierce top of pork loin with sharp knife about every one or two inches, depending on your fondness for garlic (if there is a fatty layer, that would be the top side), Insert slivered garlic into the slits made by the knife.
- Combine mustard, thyme, savory, marjoram, salt and pepper to make a smooth paste.
- Spread all over pork loin, roll the loin in chopped parsley.

- Place on rack in shallow roasting pan.
- Roast in 475 degree oven for exactly 30 minutes.
- Pull loin out, and rest on countertop (uncovered) for exactly 30 minutes.
- (This step is very important! The loin will continue to cook internally as it rests at room temperature, and this creates a juicy loin).
- As the loin is resting, turn oven temperature down to 325 degrees.
- After the loin has rested, put it back in the oven (325 degrees), and bake for approx.
- 30- 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
- Do not overcook!
- Let the loin rest uncovered for 15-20 minutes before slicing, the internal temperature will continue to climb even after taking the loin from the oven.
- (150-155 degrees) While the loin is resting, begin the currant sauce.
- Currant Sauce Directions-------------.
- Over medium heat, melt jam.
- Whisk in mustard, vinegar, and salt and pepper until smooth.

MARINATED PORK ROAST
This is a great marinade for any meat. I especially like it on pork roasts, but it can easily be used on chicken or ribs.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the parsley, thyme, rosemary, onion salt, garlic powder, oregano, marjoram, kosher salt and pepper. Massage the seasoning mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until deep brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 140 degrees. Turn over once halfway through roasting. Remove the pork from the skillet and wrap in tin foil. Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Using the same skillet, place it over medium-high heat on the stove top. Stir the butter into the pan drippings, until melted. Deglaze with the chicken broth, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the jelly and balsamic vinegar. Add the orange zest, parsley, thyme, rosemary and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring the sauce to a boil and continue to cook and stir occasionally for 5 minutes.
- Slice the pork tenderloin. Pour the sauce over all.
- Enjoy!
