Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix together the garlic, rosemary, sage, salt and pepper and pat into the pork. Place the pork in a roasting pan large enough to accommodate it without touching the sides. Set in the oven and roast for about an hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 155°F.
2. While the meat is roasting, prepare the apple glaze by combining the jelly, 1/4 cup apple cider, mustard and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat just until the jelly has melted.
3. About 15 minutes before roast is done, remove it from the oven and brush the glaze over the meat. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes.
4. Remove the roast from the roasting pan and place on a cutting board, loosely covered with foil, to rest. Skim all the fat from the roasting pan and place the pan over medium-high heat. Add the apple brandy and 1 cup apple cider. Cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan, for about 5 minutes, or until sauce is slightly syrupy. Season to taste, pour into a gravy boat and keep warm.
5. Slice the roast into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange, slightly overlapping, on a platter. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and serve hot with the pan gravy.
