Mom has prepared this delectable main dish numerous times over the years for our family, friends and customers at the restaurants she and Dad owned. A simple herb rub and roasting with vegetables give this lovely golden roast remarkable flavor.—Sandra Pichon, Slidell, Louisiana

Sunday Pork Roast Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1 hour 20 minutes + standing

Yield: 10-12 Servings

20 80 100

Ingredients

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf, finely crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bone-in pork loin roast (4 to 5 pounds)
2 medium onions, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
2-1/3 cups cold water, divided
1/3 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

Combine 2 tablespoons flour, salt, pepper, bay leaf and thyme; rub over entire roast. Place roast with fat side up on a rack in a large shallow roasting pan. Arrange vegetables around the roast. Pour 2 cups cold water into pan.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 50 minutes, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake 30-40 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let meat stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, strain pan drippings into a 2 cup measuring cup. Add water to the broth to measure 1-2/3 cups; skim fat. Discard vegetables. Return drippings to pan. Combine remaining flour and cold water until smooth. Gradually stir into drippings. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with roast. Yield: 10-12 servings.

My whole family loves this recipe. Whenever I am going to get pork, they ask if I will make this. The love the flavor and the way it stays so moist. I use garlic instead of thyme and vary veggies, or sometimes don't use any, but this is great every time.
