2 1/2 lb. boneless pork loin roast
1 cup real maple syrup
1/4 cup Dijon-style mustard
2 1/2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 1/2 tbsp. soy sauce
Salt and coarse ground black pepper, to taste
1 tsp. cornstarch

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place pork roast into a shallow roasting pan.

Stir maple syrup, mustard, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and pepper together in a saucepan. Add in cornstarch and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sauce begins to thicken. Spread evenly over pork roast.

Cook roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145°F (63°C).

Remove roast from oven and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

NOTES:

 • If you want to add a little "kick", add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze mixture.
 • Try serving with roasted Yukon Gold potatoes.
 • Leftovers (if there are any!) are delicious when made into sandwiches on toasted Hawaiian or Brioche buns. Add a slice of mild white cheese such as Muenster or Monterey Jack if desired.
