Soooo good! I made it just as the recipe called for. My pork loin just happened to be about 2 lbs. I didn't catch it in time, and the temperature went a little higher, but the pork was succulent and the sauce was outstanding. A very simple dish with common ingredients. I served the pork with rice - great with the sauce. Will make this again and again.

This is very good and very easy. After reading some of the other reviews, I would just like to comment that there is a difference between Pork Loin and Pork Tenderloin. If you used a tenderloin and thought it was "gray and dry" it is because you used the wrong cut of meat and probably overcooked it. I made a 4 pound loin and roasted it for 2 1/2 hours and tripled the sauce because it is sooooo good on rice.

I was so impatient to get dinner going last night that I goofed up and made a mistake when preparing this recipe, but it didn't ruin a thing: this was delicious! I didn't notice that the chicken broth was separate from the other sauce ingredients, and so I mixed everything up, then looked at the recipe and went "Oops!" It didn't matter; this turned out very well. I made three small modifications: I doubled the sauce ingredients, I used freshly squeezed orange juice so I also added some freshly grated orange zest, and I used maple syrup instead of honey. This recipe is easy and quick enough to prepare for any family dinner, yet tasty and presentable enough for a company meal. I garnished my platter of pork slices with some fresh orange slices and was so pleased with dinner!

We loved it. I added garlic and a teaspoon of crushed red pepper. Used rosemary instead of thyme. I only had a one-pound loin, but used the amount the recipe called for for the sauce. It cooked quickly and easily and was a golden brown. Served with fried corn and sauted green beans. I was looking for a new way to cook pork loin...this is it! Thanks!
