Honey-Mustard Pork Roast

Name: Honey-Mustard Pork Roast
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 55 min
Total time: 60 min
Yield: 6-8 servings.
Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups beer or ginger ale; 1 cup Dijon mustard; 2/3 cup honey; 1/2 cup olive oil; 16 garlic cloves, minced; 1/2 cup minced fresh rosemary, or 4 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed; 1 boneless pork loin roast (2 to 2-1/2 pounds); 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Family and friends are surprised when I tell them this impressive-looking roast is easy to prepare. I simply marinate the roast a few hours, then pop it in the oven. While it bakes, I whip up the sauce to serve alongside. —Grace Brennfleck, Clairton, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups beer or ginger ale
1 cup Dijon mustard
2/3 cup honey
1/2 cup olive oil
16 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup minced fresh rosemary, or 4 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
1 boneless pork loin roast (2 to 2-1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the beer, mustard, honey, oil, garlic and rosemary. Pour half into a large resealable plastic bag; add the roast. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade from pork. Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 55 to 65 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 10 minutes before carving.
Place reserved marinade in a small saucepan. Add cream and pan drippings if desired. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until reduced. Serve with sliced pork.

We did this recipe a little different. We prepared it in the slow cooker and it was fabulous! I used all of the ingredients above and let cook over low heat for about 6-7 hours. The pork was SO tender. It literally fell apart after cooking. I also threw some potatoes and carrots in the cooker. The entire dish was great. The sauce was very flavorful. Almost like a honey mustard pulled pork mixture. My family requested that this become on a frequent rotation.
