Wined and Brined Pork Loin image

I received a version of this recipe from the Chef at Jackson 20 in Alexandria, VA and tweaked it a bit. However you prepare your pork loin, brine it first in this mild brine and result will be a mouthwateringly tender pork loin! I buy organic loins when they are on sale, brine them, vacuum seal and freeze them.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork loin came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using a dry white wine instead of a sweet one.
