Score the rind of the pork loin and rub it liberally with salt. Roast in a roasting pan at 250°C in the oven for 15 minutes. Blanch the shallots in boiling water, peel them, and add them to the meat. Reduce the temperature to 175°C and roast for another 45 minutes. Halve the apples, core them, slice them, and add them to the meat. Mix the balsamic vinegar with the juice, pour in the sauce, and sprinkle with the sugar. Roast for another 15 minutes. Then remove the meat and vegetables and keep warm.
