Ingredients: 

Directions: 

  1. Start by trimming excess fat off the loin.
  2. Then cut 2 slits long ways down the loin, creating 3 equal-sized portions but leaving the top 1/4 connected.
  3. Braid your pork loin and use a toothpick to secure the bottom together.
  4. Lightly coat the pork loin with your favorite BBQ rub.
  5. Place your pork loin on your grill, indirect heat, at 325°F for 45 minutes.
  6. About 30 minutes into the cook, get started on the sauce. Start off with 1/4 stick of butter in a saucepan.
  7. Add in 4 large blackberries, 1/4 cup of pomegranate seeds and 1/4 cup pomegranate juice, and bring to a slow boil.
  8. While that’s melting together, add in 1 tsp of sugar and smash the pomegranate seeds and blackberries as best you can; it’s ok if it’s chunky.
  9. After it has thickened up a bit and your pork is at 130°F internal, brush on a light coating of your sauce.
  10. Pull the pork loin off the grill once it has reached an internal temperature of 140°F. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  11. Add the remainder of the sauce to the top of the pork loin, garnish with a few blackberries and pomegranates, slice and serve!
