Ingredients

• 4-pound pork loin roast
• 1 cup red wine
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup currant jelly
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

1. In a large resealable bag, combine the red wine, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
2. Place the pork loin roast in the bag with the marinade, making sure the pork is completely covered. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally to ensure even marination.
3. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
4. Remove the pork roast from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan and discard the marinade.
5. Roast the pork for approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C). Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
6. While the pork is resting, prepare the currant sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the currant jelly and balsamic vinegar. Cook over medium heat until the jelly has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.
7. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the currant sauce and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
8. Slice the pork roast and serve with the warm currant sauce.
9. Enjoy your delicious marinated pork roast with tangy currant sauce!
