Spicy Pork Loin

Clipped this out of a magazine some years ago ... don't remember which one. Edited to add: The original recipe didn't specify whether to use fresh garlic or dry granulated. I've always made it with dry granulated and Kat's Mom made it with fresh (which turned out to be messy but good (thanks Kat's Mom)! :)
