Tender pork richly glazed with the sparkling taste of ginger and pomegranate juice. I recommend ginger marmalade if you can find it. Serve with apple sauce or gravy made from the juices in the pan.

Ingredients

• salt and pepper to taste

• 1 cup orange marmalade
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger root
• ½ cup pomegranate juice
• 1 (6 pound) 12-rib crown roast of pork

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the roast in a roasting pan; season with salt and pepper. Place roast in preheated oven.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, ginger, lime juice, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer, stir in marmalade, and remove from heat. Set this glaze aside.

Step 3

When the roast has been cooking for 1 hour and 20 minutes, brush roast with approximately 1/3 of the glaze. Roast 10 minutes more, brush with 1/3 more of the glaze. Roast 10 minutes more, brush with remaining glaze. Continue roasting until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove from oven, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
