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!

Tips:
- For the perfect pork loin, choose a roast that is at least 3 inches thick and has a good amount of marbling.
- Sear the pork loin over high heat to create a flavorful crust. This will help to lock in the juices and prevent the meat from drying out.
- Roast the pork loin in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
- The currant sauce is a great way to add a sweet and tangy flavor to the pork loin. To make the sauce, simply combine currants, orange juice, chicken broth, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
