Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a bone-in pork roast. The bones add extra flavor to the meat.
- Make sure to score the pork roast before marinating it. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat more deeply.
- If you don't have time to marinate the pork roast for the full 8 hours, you can marinate it for a shorter period of time. However, the longer you marinate it, the more flavorful it will be.
- When cooking the pork roast, use a meat thermometer to ensure that it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the pork is cooked through but still juicy.
- Let the pork roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
Conclusion:
This marinated pork roast with apricot sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and juicy, and the apricot sauce is sweet and tangy. Serve this roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dishes.
