Ingredients:

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 Tbl chopped fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 (1 1/4 lb) boneless center-cut pork loin roast, trimmed

2 Tbl apricot jam

2 Tbl Dijon mustard

1. Preheat the oven to 400. Lightly spray a roasting pan with nonstick spray.

2. Stir together the garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the pork. Place the pork in the prepared pan and roast for 30 minutes.

3. Stir together the jam and mustard in a small bowl and brush all over the pork. Continue to roast the pork until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160 for medium, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Cut the roast into slices.

Note- I didn't use a thermometer but cooked mine for a little bit longer. It wasn't dry...just needed a bit more time. If you have a digital thermometer that you can leave in the roast, I would suggest one of those vs. a thermometer you keep sticking the poor little piece of meat with. You can also add some some sliced potatoes. Just toss them with the same garlic-rosemary mixture.

I also had leftovers and ate them cold...VERY YUMMY!!
