Here’s a recipe for a delicious pork roast that’s sure to please your taste buds, that will take you back to the good old days!

Ingredients:

• 1 (3 to 4 pound) pork roast
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Start by making the marinade for your pork roast. In a large bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors together.
2. Take your pork roast and place it in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the roast and seal the bag tightly. Be sure to coat the roast evenly with the marinade. Place the bag in the refrigerator and allow the roast to marinate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
3. When you’re ready to cook your pork roast, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the roast from the plastic bag and discard any excess marinade.
4. Place the pork roast in a large roasting pan and cover it with foil. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 1 hour.
5. After 1 hour, remove the foil from the pork roast and baste it with any juices that have accumulated in the pan. Continue to roast the pork for another hour, basting every 20 minutes or so, until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. Once the roast has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Y’all, this pork roast is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. The marinade adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the meat, and the slow roasting process ensures that it’s juicy and tender. So go ahead and give this recipe a try, and enjoy a delicious taste of the old-time farm cooking!
