Add your honey, garlic, and mustard in a bowl.
Whisk together until fully incorporated.
Cover your pork in the honey mustard glaze. Use a pastry brush to get it on the sides too.
Return to oven for the remaining 15-20 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145F.
Let your pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can use jarred minced garlic for the sauce, but having sliced garlic cloves in the meat can add flavor and an appealing look.Cook the pork roast to an internal temperature of at least 145°F. Avoid exceeding 165°F to prevent it from becoming dry.The sweet and tangy sauce pairs well with green salads, Italian side dishes like green beans, or even baked beans.Cooking times may vary, but as a general guideline, roast the pork for 20-25 minutes per pound, taking 1 to 1.5 hours for it to cook through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's safe to eat.
