This recipe is dedicated to my precious grandfather, Newt Strength. He loved pork more than anyone I know, except for maybe my father. He came to visit me once in North Carolina before he passed away and I made him this pork loin. He loved it. It’s one of the last things I was able to do for him. I love and miss you, Newk!
