Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours. Heat oven to 325~F. Place pork, fat side up, on rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so that the tip is in the center of the thickest part of the roast and does not rest in fat. Roast uncovered until thermometer registers 170~F, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove pork and rack form the pan. Strain the drippings from the pan and set aside. Add enough water to remaining Orange Juice Concentrate to measure 3/4 of a cup; stir juice and wine into the drippings Stir in sour cream and salt. Serve with the pork roast.

The future is neither ahead nor behind, on one side or another. Nor is it dark or light. It is contained within ourselves; its evil and good are perpetually within us.
