Ingredients
- 1 2-3 pound boneless pork loin roast
- 1 tablespoon seasoning salt
- 2 cups apple juice
- 1/2 cup apple butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 Pound chopped carrots, potatoes and onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450° F.
- Pat the pork roast with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and then rub the seasoning salt onto the top and sides of the roast.
- Place the roast in the bottom of a large roaster.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup mix the apple butter, brown sugar, cloves and cinnamon together. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if you need to thin the mixture a bit so it spreads over the roast. You do not want it too thin that it all runs off.
- Add the apple butter mixture to the top and sides of the roast making sure it is covered.
- Place desired vegetables around the roast if you want.
- Pour the apple juice into the bottom of the roaster making sure to not pour onto the roast.
- Put the roast in the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes, then turn the oven temperature down to 300° F. Do not open the oven!
- Let the roast continue to roast for another 20-25 minutes per pound of meat, until the internal temperature reaches 140° F when a meat thermometer is inserted into the middle.
- Remove the roast from the oven and cover it with foil. Let it rest 10 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes
- New USDA recommendations are that pork can now be safely cooked to 145 °F.Carrots should be no wider than 1/2 inch, potatoes should be cut around 1/2 inch thick or less to ensure that they are cooked by the end of the roasting time. Smaller sized vegetables will cook better.
