Roast Pork Loin With Apricot Plum Sauce

20 servings

This slow-roasting method for pork loin ensures that the meat will remain succulent, even when served at room temperature. Here, each 3-pound half-roast will yield about forty 1/4 -inch slices; an electric carving knife works best for this. The garlic and sage coating makes the pork flavorful enough, but the apricot plum sauce devised by David Hagedorn makes a wonderful accompaniment. Adapted from "The All New All Purpose Joy of Cooking," by Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker and Ethan Becker (Scribner, 1997).
