Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Loin



5 lb pork loin

Rub:
2 T Adobo seasoning
2 T minced shallots
1 T minced garlic
1 T minced fresh thyme leaves
1 t minced fresh oregano leaves
1 t fresh minced parsley leaves

Paste:
1 C light brown sugar
2 t finely chopped garlic
2 t ground ginger
1/2 t ground cloves
1/4 t ground black pepper
1 t kosher salt

In a small bowl, mix together rub ingredients. Rub mixture all over pork, pressing firmly, and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 350.

Place pork in roasting pan and bake 30 minutes.  Remove from oven and let stand until cool enough to touch.

Meanwhile, make paste.  Once pork is cool enough to touch, spread the paste all over the pork loin.  Return to oven and cook until it has developed a crust and is cooked to the desired doneness, about 25-30 minues.  Place roasting pan on a cookie sheet if your roasting pan is shallow, because brown sugar will foam after about 20 minutes.

Remove pork from pan and let rest 15 minutes.  Cut into slices, drizzle with pan juices and garnish with a sprig of thyme.
