Roast Natural Pork Loin, Red Roasted Potatoes and Sugar Snap Peas

"Last nights dinner was a little impromptu, but ended up working out nicely.  I went to the grocery store to find some sort of all  natural meat for dinner and I found a small pork loin.  You will see the recipe below, it was very tender and was enhanced by a nice apple sauce.  The first side was red roasted potatoes which were full of flavor and spice and then we had some cooked sugar snap peas with just a little kosher salt, they were crisp and had their own naturally sweet taste."



Roasted Pork Loin with an Apple Cider Sauce

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
2. Mix 1 1/2 cups of Apple Cider, 1/2 tsp of each Salt and Pepper, 1/2 tspThyme, 1/2 tsp Rosemary and 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
3. Coat whole pork loin in apple cider mixture
4. Place pork loin in shallow baking dish, cover with previously cooked apple pieces and pour more of remaining apple cider mixture over top
5. Cover with foil to seal in all the flavor
6. Bake for 45 - 60 minutes depending on the size of the pork loin. DO NOT OVER COOK OR MEAT WILL BE TOUGH NOT TENDER!
