Mmmm, love this dish! And believe me that's saying something as pork isn't my favourite meat. Admitedly none of us are too keen on the sauce, but the marinated pork is just delish!

I make this dish a lot. It was originally published in Bon Appetit, July 1994. Very easy to prepare...great dish when you are expecting guests. I marinate the pork in a zip lock bag so I don't have to worry about turning it. The sauce is delicious.

Made this two nights when I had company and wanted something simple. Wow, was this a winner--everyone wanted the recipe. Best pork roast recipe I have ever made.
