PORK LOIN WITH CURRANT SAUCE

Pork Loin with Currant Sauce image

I serve this roast often to family and friends...and someone at the table always asks for the recipe. To complete the meal, I make stir-fried green beans and a lightened-up version of twice-baked potatoes. -Edie Urso of Spokane, Washington
