I made a really delicious roast pork awhile ago--seriously, it may have been the best pork I've ever eaten. I got some weird cut I'd never heard of and couldn't find in any of my cookbooks, but I think this would be good with any cut meant for roasting.

I combined {this recipe} and {this recipe}. So I combined:
1 t thyme
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1 clove crushed garlic
1/4 t rosemary

Rub this mixture over the pork. Then put the pork in a baking dish. Cut up about 1/2 a medium apple and spread over the pork and the bottom of the dish. Preheat the oven to 325 and put the pork in, uncovered. It will cook slowly for about 3 hours. Baste regularly.

Make the glaze:
1/4 c sugar
1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/8 c vinegar
1/8 c water
1 Tbsp soy sauce
ginger

Combine these in a saucepan and heat until slightly thick. Brush over pork several times during the last 1/2 hour or so of cooking.

I added some potatoes, carrots, and onions in the last hour or so--they needed a bit more time or something, but the pork itself was delicious!
