This is a good one! I have had many requests for this since the first time I made it. Hope yall like it!
Ingredients:
3 to 4 lb boston butt pork roast (I prefer bone in)
1 jar of Molasses, I prefer "Grandma's Molasses"
1 jar of Applesauce, small one use the whole thing, big one use half
One tsp or two of garlic
2 tspns of ginger
2 or 3 tspns of cinnimon
Preheat oven to 325... Put pork roast fat side up in a large baking dish or roasting pan. Cut slits in the top of the roast, this will make the juices flow better and the sauce get into the roast once you add it.
Cook roast for about three hours. While your roast is cooking make the sauce. Add the jar of molasses, one small jar of applesauce, or half a big jar, and the spices...now these are to taste, so you can play with the measurements to suit you. Stir and then put in a cooking pot and let simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let sit.
Now when you are in the last hour of your cooking time on the roast start basting the roast with the sauce, making sure that it gets into the slits you cut in the roast.
Baste a few times during the last hour of cooking time. Do not cover the roast! You may have sauce left over, you may not, just depends on how much you baste it. If you do, it is great for dipping.
This roast turns out so juicy and good. It is great served with baked beans and potato salad.
Anyway, I have been making it so long that the measurments are off I know, but it is kinda like a dash of this and a dash of that to me!
It is very hard to mess up this recipe, but just do it to taste, take my word, if you love pork , you will love this...[
