My shopper delivered a top loin pork roast instead of a loin roast.  Will this still work for the recipe?

I don't think there is much of a difference in the roast.  I've made many recipes with a different cut of meat than what was in the actual recipe.   Go ahead and try it, it sounds delicious!

 My husband  seems to often buy a different cut of meat  when I send him to the store  so I've had to adjust recipes

@Cavime .... it should not make a difference in the recipe I recently posted.  A pork tenderloin (good information posted by @skatting44)  is different than a roast and would not be good in that recipe.  Try it...let us know.

Think the pork loin is leaner and thus drier than the shoulder. I cannot be helpful in the cooking. Just don't overcook.

I get 2 pork loin roasts tied flat ends together and roast at 325 for 25 minutes a pound using an herb rub of equal parts salt, marjorum, sage, and garlic.

 

It's moist and delicious.  Rest it covered with aluminum foil for about 15 minutes.

I like putting apples with fresh pork.  It just does something about reducing that sort of "wildish" taste.
