I usually make this when company comes. The problem is, after eating, they want to stay!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We have prepared fish and chicken in parchment paper but never pork, so Giana's recipe really intrigued us. Cooking the pork loin in parchment paper helps to keep the juices inside the meat. Tender and moist, this is a delicious roast pork. The pan gravy is simple and soaks into the sliced meat.
