Best Roast Pork I've Ever Eaten

TPubmgjbd's Note:

This really is the best pork roast I've ever eaten. I use fresh rosemary from my herb garden but dried will work. Even though the Marsala is optional, it's just not the same without it, in my opinion.

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.

This is a wonderful recipe and much easier to make than I would have thought. Thanks for sharing.
