Herb and Spice Crusted Pork Roast

Herb and Spice Crusted Pork Roast

I knew I would be having applesauce with this pork roast. I wanted to make a rub that would go with the pork and compliment the applesauce as well.  This is what I came up with. It worked out great. Nice blend of flavors and perfect with the spirited applesauce I used as a side dish.

Herb and Spice Crusted Pork Roast

The Rub:

2 T. coarse sea salt

1 T. paprika

1 T. dried parsley

1-2 cloves minced garlic

2 t. fresh grated ginger

2 t. cinnamon

2 t. fresh ground pepper

Combine all the rub ingredients.

1 pork roast- I used a 3 1/2 pound pork sirloin roast- bone-in.

Spread the rub over the roast, pressing in to help it stick. Place pork roast in a roasting pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 2- 2 1/2 hours. Serves 4.

This rub would also be nice on poultry.
