Step 4. In a small sauce pan, add maple syrup, soya sauce, mustard and vinegar.  Use a whisk to mix the glaze.  Boil over medium heat and reduce to about half the volume.  This will take a while and be careful that the glaze does not boil over.  This happened to me twice as I was busy doing other things!  It took about 1 hour to reduce the glaze and for it to thicken.

Step 5. After about an hour, start glazing the pork.  Brush on the glaze every 15 minutes.  Use of a meat thermometer is essential to figure out if your pork is done.  It will be done if the inner temperature reaches 160 F.  For my pork, it took about 3 hours for a 3 1/2 pound pork loin.

Step 6. Slice pork into thin slices and scoop some of the glaze sauce on top.  This turned out very good and my kids loved it.  We served it with sides of potato latkes, steamed beets, and roasted carrots.
