Ingredients
3  tablespoons Pickapeppa sauce*
1  clove garlic, minced
1/8  teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1  1-pound boneless pork top loin roast (single loin)
2  large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces (1 to 1-1/4 pounds total)
1  recipe Mango-Jicama Salsa (see recipe below)
   Fresh cilantro sprigs (optional)

Preparation
1. In a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons of the Pickapeppa sauce, the garlic, and thyme; set aside.
2. Trim fat from roast. Brush garlic mixture on all sides of roast. Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast in a 325 degree F oven for 45 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan cook sweet potatoes in boiling, lightly salted water about 8 minutes or just until tender; drain. Toss sweet potatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon Pickapeppa sauce. Place sweet potatoes around roast in pan. Continue roasting for 30 to 45 minutes more or until pork juices run clear (160 degrees F).
4. To serve, slice pork. Serve sliced pork with sweet potatoes and Mango-Jicama Salsa. If desired, garnish with cilantro.
