Brined Pork Loin Roast

---

Since everyone seems to be doing the brining thing, i thought you all might like this roast. I got the recipe several years ago on the foodtv network - can't remember which show. The low temp isn't a typo - it cooks at 250 degrees. The flavor and taste are exceptional. Great for a sunday dinner with garlic mashed potatoes and sauerkraut with apples #53036 - this recipe came from the same show. Hope you enjoy - it's a favorite of ours.

Place in a roasting pan with meat side down.

---

Drape bacon slices over the roast so the top and sides are covered with the bacon.

Bake in pre-heated oven until internal temperature of the meat is 140 degrees.

Let roast rest about 20 minutes before slicing', i've found it easiest to cut with an electric knife with the meat down and ribs up- slicing between the rib bones"]".
