Perfectly Juicy Roast Pork

This is a recipe I found for roast pork almost by accident - it's adapted from a recipe for pork pasties. I discovered that if you just cook the pork in the same way it makes a perfect pork roast!! This is amazingly soft, juicy and succulent. Best roast pork I have ever eaten, I reckon.
