• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

2. If the pork has an excessive layer of fat, trim it a bit. A little fat will help keep the roast juicy over the long period of cooking.

Tips

• One serving of meat or poultry is generally 3 ounces. Each pound of pork loin uncooked will yield approximately 12 ounces cooked.
• According to the USDA, pork must be cooked to a temperature of at least 145 F.

Recipe Variations

• If the roast is very lean with little or no visible fat, top it or wrap it with 4 to 6 strips of bacon.
