Honey-Pineapple Pork Roast

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) well-marbled pork loin roast
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 1 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

Instructions

1. Score loin in 1 inch diamonds with a sharp knife (only 1/4 inch deep).
2. Combine remaining ingredients and marinate pork roast in a plastic bag at least 2 hours to overnight in refrigerator.
3. Remove pork from marinade; heat remaining marinade in a saucepan to a boil and reserve for basting.
4. Grill pork over indirect, medium-low fire, or roast at 350 degrees F, to an internal temperature of 145 to 150 degrees F (about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or 18 minutes per pound). Baste meat with marinade during last 5 to 10 minutes of cooking.
5. Remove, cover with foil and a kitchen towel and rest 10 minutes before carving. The meat should show a slight blush tone and the juices run clear.
