I sampled this tasty pork roast in a commercial cooking course I took years ago and saved the recipe. Later, I converted it to family-size, and it's become a favorite. -Vikki Rebholz, West Chester, Ohio

Maybe I got lucky with the pork loin I picked, but this recipe produced pork that melted in our mouths. The best pork loin I ever made.

OMG.. SO delish!! The only thing I did different was instead of Dijon mustard I used Honey Dijon mustard..and it was very good! Don't forget the rosmary because I think it is what makes this dish. YUM!
