Honey Baked Pork Roast

Ingredients

• 1 (5-lb.) Fresh, all natural Pork Roast
• 6 1/2 tablespoons honey, divided
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/3 cup canola or regular mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

How to Make it

1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
2. Trim tough outer skin layer from pork, leaving as much fat as possible intact. Discard skin.
3. Rub 2 1/2 tablespoons honey over pork. Combine sugar, salt, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in a bowl; rub mixture evenly over all sides of pork. Place pork, fat side up, in a foil-lined broiler pan.
4. Bake at 300°F until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 170° to 180°F, about 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes before cutting into thin slices.
5. Combine remaining 1/4 cup honey, mayonnaise, and remaining ingredients; serve sauce with pork.

Serves 16 (serving size: about 3 oz. pork and about 2 1/2 tsp. sauce)
