i made this today and loved it! i love pork but tend to overcook everytime. i did the same today and the meat was dry(my fault). i had added apple juice to the roasting pan to help steam so i took the juices, shredded the meat and drizzled the meat with juices. my hubby added apple cinnamon bbq sauce to his sandwich and it was delicious.

This was very good; I'll definitely be making it again. I think next time I will use much less oil, because I don't think it really needs it, and it would be easier to rub in the spices. Doing it according to the recipe, I found it hard to taste the spices. My pork loin was only 1.7 lbs (as opposed to 3 as called for), so I only let it cook about an hour and a half; I used an instant meat thermometer to check the temp. Also, next time maybe use a rack? That might dry it out, though, so I'm not sure.... Great recipe, and it made great sandwiches and burrritos!
