Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour 30 minutes Serves 4-6

1 (3-4 pound) boneless pork loin roast
salt and pepper
2/3 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
Heat oven to 325° F.

Place the pork in a roasting pan and rub with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, combine the preserves with the orange juice, soy sauce, and garlic and pour over the meat. Cover and roast 30 minutes.

Uncover and baste with the sauce and the juices that have collected in the roasting pan. Cover and continue cooking, basting every 20 minutes, for about 1 hour longer or until an instant-read thermometer registers 155° F.

Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes to finish cooking before carving. Serve with pan drippings.

    We eat a lot of pork in the summer, usually on the grill, but I should try it this way!
