2 cups milk
5 juniper berries, crushed slightly
4 sprigs fresh sage, plus extra for garnish

Heat oil and butter in a large Dutch oven or pot that will fit the pork loin over medium heat; add the pork, onions, and garlic and brown meat well on all sides for about 15 minutes.

Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until pork is tender 1 to 1 1/2 hours, turning several times to self-baste.
4

Transfer pork to a serving dish and keep warm.
5

Increase heat, if desired and cook liquid until it is a light brownish color (it will look curdled at this point).

To serve, slice pork in thick slices and season with salt and pepper, strain liquid then season with a little salt and pepper; drizzle a little of the strained sauce over pork, garnish with fresh sage leaves and serve additional sauce on the side.
