This was very good, however I made a few adjustments. I added thyme, salt and pepper along with the garlic and rosemary. I seasoned the whole roast first then poured the honey/mustard mixture over it. I only roasted until the temp reached 155 deg. then removed the meat from the roasing pan and set it aside to rest, I then put the roasting pan on top of the stove and deglazed it with 1/2 cup of the marsala, let that reduce then added 1/2 cup of chicken stock, a tablespoon of butter, salt and pepper. It was very yummy! Thanks for sharing!

My husband actually quoted the title - Best Pork Roast Ever! I combined the honey, mustard, fresh rosemary, and garlic powder together and just poured it all over the roast. I did use the Marsala and the flavor is amazing. I only cooked the pork to 160 as 175 seemed like it would make it too dry. Wonderful way to dress up an inexpensive piece of meat.

I just love to cook, that's about it. I like trying new recipes for the same thing until I find the ultimate, absolutely best recipe there is for it. Fortunately, I have lots of friends and co-workers who are more than happy to sample for me.
