Getting together with family and friends over the holidays is grand... we all know it’s really the food they come for after all. Our showstopper rib roast will do the trick.

Ingredients

1 (3-4 pound) pork loin rib roast

1 tablespoon canola oil

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to season

¼ cup fancy molasses

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger

Zest of 1 lemon

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325°F. Rub pork roast with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in roasting pan, uncovered, and roast 1 1⁄2 to 2 hours or until internal temperature reaches 155°F.

In small bowl, combine molasses, cider, honey, garlic, ginger and lemon zest. Baste meat with half molasses glaze during last 5 minutes of cooking. Let meat rest 5 minutes before slicing. Warm remaining glaze and spoon over meat. Serves 8.
