Combine the herbs and spices and sprinkle evenly over the pork. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours. 

Preheat oven to 375°. Drizzle pork with olive oil. Roast for 30 minutes or until the center of the pork reads 155°. Remove from the oven, cover and let stand for 10 minutes. 

To prepare sauce, remove 2 tsp. adobo sauce from the can of chiles. Along with the adobo sauce, add the syrup, broth and vinegar to roasting pan, scraping the pan to loosen browned bits.
