Ingredients

• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried sage
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried thyme
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried rosemary
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried marjoram
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 6 Pounds (lb) pork loin roast
• 4 Whole tart apples, peeled
• 1 Whole red onion, minced
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) brown sugar
• 1 Cup apple juice
• 0.67 Cup real maple syrup

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine the sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the pork loin roast. Cover and refrigerate the roast for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight, to marinate.
2. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
3. Place the marinated roast in a shallow roasting pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain any excess fat.
4. In a medium bowl, mix the apples and onion with brown sugar. Spoon this mixture around the roast in the pan, and continue to cook for an additional hour, or until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer the roast, apples, and onion to a serving platter, and keep warm.
5. To prepare the gravy, skim excess fat from the meat juices. Pour the drippings into a medium heavy skillet. Stir in the apple juice and maple syrup. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until the liquid has reduced by half, about 1 cup. Slice the roast and serve with the maple gravy.
