Place the roasting pan in the oven for 75-80 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 145 degrees. Baste the pork loin with the marinade twice in the first 45 minutes of baking. Stop basting 30 minutes prior to the pork roast being cooked through.
When the internal temperature reads 145 degrees, remove the pork loin from the oven and tent aluminum foil over it. Allow it to sit this way for 3-5 minutes.
Slice and serve.
