Glazed Pork Loin
This recipe came from an old neighbor. She is not old, she is just not our neighbor any more. She was a phenomenal entertainer. This was a dish she made for her family and friends often. She passed it along to my sister and she passed it along to me. It's simple and the flavor is unbelievable.
