Old South Coca-Cola Pork Loin – A Must-Try Recipe!

In a bowl, combine all marinade ingredients except the pork loin.
Place the pork loin in a large zip-lock bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and place it in a bowl to prevent any leaks.
Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning and patting the bag every few hours.
Cooking the Pork Loin:

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
Remove the pork loin from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Place the pork loin, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast.

Roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 175°F (80°C). This will take about 30-40 minutes per pound, so for a 5-pound roast, it will take approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
During the last 30 minutes of roasting, brush the glaze (see below) onto the pork loin.
Remove the roast from the oven and place it on a platter. Cover with aluminum foil to let it rest and retain steam for 15 minutes before slicing.
Glaze Preparation:

In a saucepan, combine all the glaze ingredients.
Simmer the mixture, stirring until it thickens.
Brush or spoon the glaze onto the meat frequently during the last 30 minutes of roasting.
Serve any remaining glaze alongside the sliced pork.
Alternate Slow Roasting Method:

You can also roast the pork loin at 250-275°F (120-135°C) for twice as long to achieve an even more tender result.
