I found this recipe on Cooking.Com and it has been a keeper ever since! I love pork loin and if done right is not dry or bland. Pork loves rosemary and sage just ask any Italian! :) This is a Tuscan recipe so it is recommended that it be served with braised white beans and roasted potatoes! And uncork a Chianti!!! Sounded good to me! Jelly :)
