Tender pork loin

1 (3 - 4 pound) pork loin

2 teaspoons minced garlic

10 ml

½ teaspoon rosemary

2 ml

1 teaspoon sage

5 ml

1½ teaspoons marjoram

7 ml

about ¼ cup (60 ml) water to slow cooker. Cover and

TIP: Sometimes it is hard to buy a small (3 to 4 pound/1.3 kg)
pork loin, but they are available in (8 or 9 pound/3.6 kg)
sizes. Because pork loin is such a good cut of pork (no bones

– no fat), you can buy a whole loin, cut it into 2 or 3 pieces
and freeze the pieces not used.
