Pork Roast with Apples and Onions

I made this pork recipe recently
and found it a exceptional dish.

Ingredients:
4 pounds pork loin roast
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
salt and pepper to taste
4 Granny Smith 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

Directions:
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.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
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 160 degrees F.
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.
