Selecting the Perfect Pork Loin

The foundation of this masterpiece lies in selecting a premium pork loin. Look for a loin that is evenly marbled and free of excessive fat. A well-marbled loin will ensure juiciness and tenderness throughout the cooking process.

Creating the Herb-Crusted Pork

Generously season the pork loin with salt and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, combine your favorite dried or fresh herbs. We recommend a blend of rosemary, thyme, and oregano for an aromatic crust.
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels, then evenly coat the surface with the herb mixture.

Roasting the Pork Loin

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Place the herb-crusted pork loin on a wire rack set inside a roasting pan.
Roast the pork loin for approximately 1 hour per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) as measured with a meat thermometer.

Preparing the Plum Sauce

While the pork is roasting, prepare the plum sauce. In a saucepan, combine ripe plums, sugar, and a touch of vinegar.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the plums have softened and the sauce has thickened.
Puree the sauce using an immersion blender or a regular blender until smooth.

Glazing the Pork

Once the pork loin has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius),remove it from the oven.
Brush the pork loin generously with the prepared plum sauce.
Return the pork loin to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes, or until the glaze has caramelized.

Slicing and Serving

Let the pork loin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish. Serve the pork loin with the remaining plum sauce and your favorite sides.

Tips for Perfection

Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking. Overcooking will result in dry pork.
Experiment with different herb combinations to create a unique flavor profile.
Pair the pork loin with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
Serve the pork loin with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for an added touch of sweetness.

Congratulations on mastering the art of Baked Pork Loin with Plum! This culinary masterpiece is sure to impress your loved ones and elevate your home cooking to new heights. Savor every bite of the tender and juicy pork, complemented by the sweet and tangy plum sauce. Enjoy the process and share your creations with pride. Happy cooking!
