JERK APPLE ROAST PORK
JERK APPLE ROAST PORK
Ingredients
Directions
Begin by removing any excess fat from the pork shoulder.
Tie the roast with kitchen twine, to ensure the roast stays together while roasting.
Season with powdered spices and olive oil, let sit for overnight or for a few hours before cook time.
The next step is to get the oven and oven safe roasting pan ready (pre heat to 400 degrees), while you sear each side of the pork shoulder in a heavy bottomed pan (cast iron works great).
Before searing, scrape off excess seasoning to get a more full coverage sear without burning.
Once seared and the oven is heated, line parchment paper with half of the apple slices,
Baste the pork shoulder with the green season, the place on apple slices and herbs on top.
Wrap in a triple layer of parchment paper and place in roasting pan.
Roast for 2 hrs.
After 2 hours, carefully remove roast from parchment paper wrap and place in the roasting pan and continue roasting for 20 to 25 more minutes uncovered.
Once pork has browned enough to your liking, remove from oven and let sit for at least 20 minutes before making the first slice.
Reserve enough juice to use as gravy, or you can simmer the juices produced in a sauce pan with a few more spices and a cornstarch slurry for a thicker gravy that can also be stored for future use.
