Ingredients

Plum Sauce

2 tablespoons butter

3/4 cup chopped onions

1 cup plum preserves

2/3 cup water

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup chili sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons prepared mustard

3 drops Tabasco sauce

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Garlic salt to taste

Roast

One 5-pound pork loin roast

2 cloves garlic, slivered

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons dried or fresh rosemary

1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Preparation

Step 1
To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan; add the onions and sauté until tender. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Moisten the roast with a damp paper towel to help hold the seasonings. In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, salt, herbs, and spices. With a sharp knife make 1/2-inch-deep slits in the top of the roast. Press the seasoning mixture into the slits, and rub the remainder over the entire roast. Place the roast in a roaster pan and pour 1/2 cup plum sauce over it. Cover and bake for 2 1/2 hours. Uncover the roast and baste it with additional plum sauce; bake for 30 minutes longer, basting 2 or 3 times, until the roast is nicely browned. Serve the remaining plum sauce on the side for dipping.
