Meet the Cook: We used to raise our own hogs. This recipe was given me by a fellow farmer who also had pork on the dinner table a couple of times a week. I'm a dietitian at the local VA hospital. Cooking, of course, is one of my top pastimes! My husband and I have four children and one grandson. -Denise Collins, Chillicothe, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 1 envelope onion soup mix
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 cups water, divided
  • 1 bone-in pork loin roast (4 to 5 pounds)
  • 24 small red potatoes, halved (2 to 3 pounds)
  • 1-1/2 cups sliced onions

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Stir in 1/2 cup water; let stand for 3 minutes.
  • Place roast, fat side up, on a greased rack in a roasting pan. Pour remaining water into the pan. Combine potatoes and onions; spoon around the roast. Brush vegetables and roast with seasoning mixture.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and potatoes are tender. Baste and stir potatoes occasionally. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Thicken juices for gravy if desired. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 8-10 servings.

so moist and tender possibly the best pork roast I've ever had. Only thing I might change is instead of putting the seasoning on top of the roast I might put it in a large baggie and massage it into the roast for better coverage.

This was by far the best pork roast recipe I have ever cooked. The meat was so tender and the gravy from the drippings was delicious!!
