Pork Roast with Style
by Liz Silva Hall
6lb rack of pork (trimmed of excess fat on
bones)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup mustard, Dijon
1/4 cup orange
juice
1/4 cup KRS German Gewurztraminer
2 tsp
minced garlic
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt and
pepper
Preparation:
The oven should be preheated to 450. Line a deep baking dish
with foil and place pork roast in dish. In a small bowl whisk together all the
ingredients, except pork. Take half and put into a small container and
refrigerate to serve with the pork. Spoon about a 1/4 of the remaining mixture
over the pork and cook uncovered in the oven for about 10 minutes. Reduce heat
to 350 and spoon more of the mixture over the roast. Continue cooking,
occasionally drizzling mixture over the roast, for about 2 hours. Remove from
oven and let stand approximately 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted
rosemary infused baby potatoes, mushrooms and baby carrots, alongside a very
simple rice pilaf and remaining sauce.
For dessert serve a simple yet delicious Peach Melba. Quite
simply place 1 large scoop of vanilla ice cream in a dessert bowl, a handful of
sliced canned peaches, drizzle with a tbsp of warmed raspberry or strawberry
jam, and top with a dollop of Cool Whip topping. Crush a few toasted almonds or
pecans on top and you a quick and simply delicious dessert. If you prefer to
use fresh peaches, by all means go ahead and you can also drizzle a bit of
NM Peach Chardonnay for a more adult version of this
scrumptious dessert.
