Ingredients
- 5 pound pork roast bone in or boneless ($12.20)
- salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary ($0.50)
- 4 cloves garlic, halved ($0.32)
- ½ cup honey ($1.92)
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced ($0.07)
- ¼ cup mustard, yellow or Dijon ($0.12)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Roast: Place the pork roast in the baking dish. Cut three shallow slits across the top of the roast, about ¼ inch deep.
- Season: Rub the pork generously with salt and pepper.
- Add Aromatics: Insert rosemary sprigs and halved garlic cloves into each slit.
- Initial Roast: Place the pork in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes per pound. Remove the pork from the oven about 20 minutes before the total cook time is finished.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, and mustard until smooth.
- Glaze the Pork: Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the top and sides of the pork.
- Finish Roasting: Return the pork to the oven and roast for the remaining 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Rest & Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Garlic Options: Jarred minced garlic works well for the glaze, but fresh garlic cloves tucked into the roast add extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Doneness: Pork is safely cooked at 145°F. Avoid cooking past 165°F to prevent dryness.
- Timing Guide: Cooking time averages 20 to 25 minutes per pound. Always rely on a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Serving Ideas: This roast pairs well with green salads, roasted green beans, Italian style sides, or baked beans.
