Herbed Pork and Apples

    1 teaspoon dried sage
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    1 teaspoon dried rosemary
    1 teaspoon dried marjoram
    salt and pepper to taste
    6 pounds pork loin roast
    4 tart apples - peeled, cored, cut into 1 inch chunks
    1 red onion, chopped
    3 tablespoons brown sugar
    1 cup apple juice
    2/3 cup real maple syrup

  In a small bowl, combine the sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, salt
 and pepper. Rub over roast. Cover, and refrigerate roast for 6 to 8
 hours, or overnight.
  Preheat oven to 325F. Place roast in a shallow roasting pan, and
 bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain fat. In a
 medium bowl, mix apples and onion with brown sugar. Spoon around
 roast, and continue to cook for 1 hour more, or until the internal
 temperature of the roast is 160F. Transfer the roast, apples and
 onion to a serving platter, and keep warm.
  To make the gravy, skim excess fat from meat juices. Pour drippings
 into a medium heavy skillet. Stir in apple juice and syrup. Cook and
 stir over medium-high heat until liquid has been reduced by half,
 about 1 cup. Slice the roast, and serve with gravy.
