Time 13h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup sorghum molasses (recommended: Kentucky)
2 tablespoons bourbon
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (such as Heinz)
1 1/2 teaspoons Asian garlic chili paste
One 8-bone crown roast of pork, 5 to 7 pounds, with 1/4-inch fat and bones "Frenched"*
Country Ham Jus, recipe follows
Pawpaw Relish, recipe follows
8 ounces country ham bones or smoked pork bones (recommended: Kentucky brand)
4 cups water
1 small onion, chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
1 small carrot, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
2 cups demi-glace or very rich veal stock
1 green tomato, diced
1 mango, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 bunch cilantro leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup pawpaw puree**

Steps:

  • To marinate the pork roast, combine maple syrup, molasses, bourbon, chili sauce, and chili paste in a shallow dish and mix well. Brush the roast all over with the marinade and refrigerate it 8 hours or longer.
  • Preheat 1 side of a grill to high heat.
  • To cook, sear the roast all over on a hot grill. Once it browns, move the meat to a cooler spot. Lower the heat and continue to cook, covered, at a lower temperature, until it is done, about 11/2 to 2 hours, depending on its size -- the meat should register 150 to 155 degrees F in its thickest part.
  • To serve, reheat the Country Ham Jus and divide it among serving plates. Place pork on plates and add a generous spoonful of Pawpaw Relish.
  • For the country ham jus, combine the ham bones, 4 cups water, onion, celery, carrot, thyme, bay leaf, and pepper in a large stockpot. Simmer, uncovered, for 3 hours, or until liquid is reduced to 1 cup. Strain out the solids. Combine with demi-glace in pot and cook until reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Add salt, to taste. Refrigerate.
  • Mix all the ingredients together.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pork roast turned out tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

The pork roast was delicious, but the jus was a bit too thick. I think I'll thin it out with some water next time.

The pork roast was a bit dry. I think I should have cooked it for less time.

This pork roast was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less country ham jus next time.
