ROAST WITH THYME
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 3 Hours
Makes 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients:
5 pounds boneless pork
roast, trimmed
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
3 bay leaves
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325
degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. With a small knife, pierce
top of roast. Force garlic slices into the cuts. Sprinkle the
roast with salt and pepper. Place bay leaves in the bottom of
the roasting pan, and set roast on top of bay leaves, fat side
