Absolutely gorgeous!!! The flavour what can I say wonderful, yum, outstanding. We loved this recipe it was just so good and a definite keeper. I cut back on the cooking time, only as I was cooking a smaller pork loin in weight, only enough to serve 3 and with basting it turned out so tender and full of flavour. I boiled the left over marinade and any juices from the pan and served it as extra sauce on the side, all those flavours together were so good and I wasn't about to waste it. Especially as I served it over vegetable fried rice so it gave a nice sauce to add to that. An absolute winner and one that will frequent our table often. The only thing I did differently was to slice the pork thickly, my preference, so basically nothing. Huge thumbs up!!!!
