Spicy Pork Roast With Fruit Recipes

GLAZED SWEET AND SPICY PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Place roast fat side down in a shallow metal pan or iron skillet.
• Rub all surfaces of the roast with canola oil.
• Combine all the dry ingredients together to make a rub. Note: I mortar and pestle the rosemary a little to break it apart and release the flavor. You can use more or less of these dry ingredients to taste or to your perference.
• Apply the above to all surfaces of the roast. Rub them in well and return the roast to the pan fat side down.
• Drizzle maple syrup over top of the roast and let it run down the sides. Try to coat the top and sides evenly. It's okay if the syrup runs down onto the pan surface.
• Bake in a preheated 325F oven. Refer to a cookbook pork roasting chart to determine the exact baking time, depending on the weight of your roast. A 2 1/2 to 3 pound roast should take about 1 hour and 20 minutes to be done in a 325F oven.
• After the roast is done, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 20 minutes or so while still in the pan. Then use a tablespoon to gather the thick fluid (glaze) from the bottom of the pan and spoon it over the top and sides of the roast.
• Enjoy.

SPICY CITRUS PORK ROAST (CROCK POT)

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crisp in a skillet over medium high heat. Remove bacon pieces from skillet and set aside, leaving fat in skillet.
• In same pan, brown roast on all sides. Transfer to slow cooker.
• Remove all but 1 TB of bacon fat from pan. Reduce heat to medium. Add onions and cook, stirring, until slightly wilted.
• Add garlic, jalapeno, chili powder, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring, one more minute.

• Stir in bacon pieces. Pour contents of skillet over pork.
• Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Note that the original recipe indicated that this could be cooked on high for 4-5 hours, but I'm afraid that my slow cooker would burn this due to the high sugar content of the fruit. You can use your judgment based on your knowledge of your slow cooker - I needed to save some time so I started on high for 1 hour and switched to low for 4 1/2 hours and it turned out perfectly.
