Old South Coca Cola Pork Loin Recipe 325

OLD SOUTH COCA-COLA PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients except for the meat to form a marinade. Place roast in plastic zip-lock bag, pour in marinade and seal. Place in a large bowl to keep marinade from spreading away from roast. Let stand for 24 hours, or overnight in refrigerator, patting and turning the bag every few hours. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Remove roast from marinade; discard marinade. Place roast, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part. Do not add water or cover. Roast in oven until temp is 175 degrees. Allow 30-40 minutes per pound for roasting, so five pounds would take 2 1/2 to 3 hours. During last half hour of cooking time, brush on the glaze. (see below) Remove from oven and pan onto a platter. Cover with a foil tent to seal steam and rest the meat 15 minutes before slicing. Alternately, you may roast at 250-275 for twice as long. The meat will be even more tender. Glaze: Mix together all ingredients in sauce pan; simmer and stir to thicken. Brush or spoon glaze on meat frequently during cooking. Serve remaining sauce with sliced pork.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients except for the meat, to form a marinade. Set the pork roast in a plastic bag with a zip-type seal, pour in the marinade and seal the bag. Set the plastic bag in a serving bowl large enough to steady the roast and keep the marinade ingredients from spreading away from the roast. Let stand for 24 hours or overnight in the refrigerator, patting and turning the bag every few hours to ensure the meat marinates evenly. This helps the roast absorb the marinating liquids and creates a tender, juicy and flavorful roast. Remove roast from marinade and discard the marinade. Place roast, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan. Insert roast meat thermometer so the bulb is centered in the thickest part. Do not add water. Do not cover. Roast in a slow 325 degree preheated oven until the thermometer registers to 175 degrees. Allow 30 to 40 minutes per pound for roasting, so for a 5 pound loin roast, you would be roasting for about 2-1/2 to 3 hours. During last 1/2 hour of cooking time, brush on the glaze. If you prefer, you can just as easily cook on the grill or in the smoker. Remove from the oven and out of the pan onto a platter; cover with foil tent to seal steam and rest the meat 15 minutes before slicing and this results in a much juicier roast. NOTE: Alternatively, you can slow-roast. Instead of roasting at 325, use a slow oven at 250 - 275 degrees, and allow almost twice as long. The meat will be even more tender. Use your meat thermometer or whatever means you like to achieve desired doneness.
