I never had much success making pork roasts, but this turned out great! I had a 3.5 pound, bone-in roast, and roasted it for 3.5 hours - the internal temp after that time was perfect, and the meat was nice and tender and juicy. I made gravy with the drippings with my standard gravy recipe. I will NEVER again make a pork roast any other way! Thank you for posting this great recipe.

Amazing flavors in the roast!! Made for New Year's Day dinner and enjoyed by even the pickiest of picky eaters. The gravy was excellent, too. Just added some dry white wine,cornstarch mixed with chicken stock to the drippings; then reduced to thicken. Thanks, yooper for making me the cooking star of the day with my family. LOL Made for the first meal in 2 for 1 event in Cooking Photos.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
