### Why Coca-Cola?
Using Coca-Cola in cooking might seem a bit unusual, but this beloved soft drink is more than just a beverage. Its natural sweetness and acidity make it a perfect marinade or glaze for meats like pork. The soda tenderizes the meat while creating a glaze that caramelizes beautifully during cooking. As it cooks, the Coca-Cola reduces and concentrates its flavors, adding depth and richness to the pork loin.
### Ingredients You’ll Need:
– **1 (3-4 lb) pork loin roast**
– **1 can (12 oz) Coca-Cola** (regular, not diet)
– **1/2 cup brown sugar** (packed)
– **1/4 cup apple cider vinegar**
– **1/4 cup soy sauce**

– **2 cloves garlic, minced**
– **1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme**
