PORK LOIN Glazed in Balsamic and Brown Sugar

Pork was always a favorite amongst the cowhands working the trail drives. Although the chuckwagon cook normally served it as salt pork or bacon, the rare occasion of  having wild bore would find the cook skinning the hide off a wild pig and butchering. 

Slow cooking pork has always made for great BBQ and Pork Loin is truly a delightful cut.  This was slow cooked and glazed and a true treat that will please your pallet. Christina, from C and C Marriage Factory tried this recipe from Let's Dish stating it was a cinch to make and seriously delicious.
