Honey-Grilled Pork Loin

MelinOhio's Note:

I wanted something different for a cookout. This is so good, if you're having company, you'd better fix two. It's butterflied, so it increases marinated flavor and shortens grilling time. Everyone I fixed this for has asked for the recipe. I marinate in the morning to have ready for dinner.

It's a winner. It was pouring out- so I ended up cooking in the oven. It took about 1 hour 15 minutes at 350. I kept covered in foil with the marinade for the first 45 minutes, then uncovered and poured off most of the marinade and basted with the glaze for the last part. It was yummy. I was afraid it would be too sweet, but the garlic/salt of the marinade helped. Like Kraiz, I also have made this before with all of the ingredients in the marinade, and it turns out nice that way too, just no glaze.

Awesome. I doubled the marinade and glaze ingredients, and used the oven for a little over an hour at 350 instead of the grill. Juicy, tasty, and NO leftovers. For us, that's unreal. Thanx!

Very good with lots of flavor. I butterflied down the center so some of the glaze worked it's way in the making it even better. The cooking time for me with a 3.3lb loin was 50 minutes. It wasn't even close to done at 20-25, even by sight.
