Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 boneless whole pork loin roast (5 pounds)
• GLAZE:
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

1. Combine the salt, garlic, thyme, ginger and pepper; rub over entire roast. Place roast with fat side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 2 hours.
2. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir in the remaining glaze ingredients until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Brush some of the glaze over roast.
3. Bake 1 hour longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160°, brushing occasionally with glaze. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing; serve with remaining glaze. Yield: 12-16 servings.
