Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 (5 pound) boneless pork loin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 0.5 cup sugar
• 0.25 cup vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine sage, salt, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl. Rub thoroughly all over pork loin. Place pork in an uncovered roasting pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven on the center rack until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of pork reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), depending upon your desired doneness, about 3 hours.

Step 4

Meanwhile, place sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, water, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until glaze begins to bubble and thicken slightly. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Step 5

Brush roast with glaze 3 or 4 times during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Pour remaining glaze over roast to serve.
