Steps:
- For brine:
- Combine 1 quart water and all remaining ingredients in medium saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve. Pour brine into wide pot or container large enough to hold pork (3- to 4-gallon capacity). Add remaining 5 quarts cold water; stir to blend. Let stand until brine is cool to touch, about 1 hour.
- For pork:
- Place pork on work surface. Trim off all but 1/4-inch layer of fat from roast. Turn roast over so that rib bones point up.

BRINED PORK ROAST WITH ROASTED PEACHES
This was my first attempt at brining, and I was simply THRILLED how the roast turned out. It was really FULL of flavor, and moist as could be. I adapted this from one I saw made on Food 911, by adding some of my own brine ingredients, and a little different twist on the peaches. This was for my family's Christmas Eve dinner, so I wanted something extra special. The roasted peaches on the side were a terrific compliment to the pork. I know this recipe has a lot of time-consuming steps, but if you're looking for a special dinner for a crowd, this one works very well, and, I think, is worth the time. Prep time does NOT include 6 hour brine time!

Steps:
- Place brine ingredients, water through bay leaves, in a large plastic juice container.
- I like to mix the brine ahead of time in a giant plastic container to be sure the sugar and salt dissolve.
- I usually do this the night before, and refrigerate.
- Line a large stockpot or roasting pan with a plastic garbage bag, large enough to fit the roast and the liquid.
- Place pork roast in bag, and pour brine mixture over the meat.
- Tie the bag tightly at the top, so that the entire roast is submerged in the liquid.
- Refrigerate for 6 hours (I flipped it once after 3 hours) Remove pork from the brine, and pat dry with paper towels.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Note about the roast: I find better results if the fat layer is left on.
- Please do not over trim this part, or roast will become too dry.
- Season entire roast generously with salt and pepper.
- Lay the fresh rosemary sprigs over top, and tie the roast with butchers twine, securing the meat a bit more snugly to the bone, which will help it hold its shape and cook evenly.
- Coat roasting pan with olive oil and set over two burners over high heat, until oil is almost smoking.
- Sear the pork, fat side down until it has a nice caramelized color.
- Repeat this for all sides of the roast.
- This should be about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the halved carrots, onion, garlic, shallots and a few more sprigs of rosemary to the pan.
- Place roast in oven, and cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 150 degrees (about 1 1/2-1 hour 45 minutes) For the peaches: If fresh peaches are available, wisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard seeds (if using), rosemary, and ¼ cup olive oil.
- If fresh peaches are not available, used the canned, omit the honey in the marinade.
- You may use a bit of the reserved peach juice to taste instead Place peaches in roasting pan, and pour marinade over them.
- Give them a toss with your hands and place cut side down.
- Roast in oven for about 15 minutes, or until the fresh peaches are soft.
- When pork is finished, remove it to a cutting board, and let rest while you make the sauce.
- Remove aromatics and vegetable from the roasting pan, and set it back up on the stove on medium heat.
- Deglaze the pan with the apple juice, and scrape up the browned pieces stuck to the bottom.
- Let this simmer and reduce by about a third.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and wisk in butter.
- Remove twine from the roast, carve slices, and serve with sauce and roasted peaches.

Steps:
- Have butcher cut the chine bone in between each rib of the pork roast to make carving easier. Leave the fat cap on for added moisture and flavor. Line a large stockpot or bucket with a plastic bag. Pour water into the bag and dissolve salt and brown sugar. Add peppercorns and a few thyme sprigs. Place the pork roast in the bag of brine. Tie the bag closed so the pork is submerged. Refrigerate for 6 hours, the brine will tenderize the meat. Remove pork from the brine and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lay thyme sprigs all over the pork roast, season with salt and pepper, then secure with butcher's twine to help hold the shape. Coat a roasting pan with a little olive oil and set on 2 burners over high heat until almost smoking. Sear the pork, fat side down, until caramelized. Turn the roast to brown all sides, this should take about 10 minutes. To flavor the pork drippings, scatter carrots, garlic, onion, shallots and more thyme sprigs in the pan, then transfer the roast to oven. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast registers 150 degrees F, approximately 1 hour.
- Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Brown the sausage links on all sides until cooked through. Remove the links from the pan and slice on a bias. Add slivered garlic, red pepper flakes and fennel seed, stir to incorporate. Return the sausage back to the pan, along with broccoli rabe and chicken broth. Saute with the stock for 5 minutes until the rabe is wilted.
- Whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard seed, tarragon, and about 1/4 cup olive oil. Slice peaches in half lengthwise and remove pits. Pour the marinade over the peaches, tossing to coat. Place peaches cut side down in a baking pan and roast for 12 to 15 minutes until soft.
- Remove the pork to a cutting board and let it rest while preparing the pan sauce. Discard the aromatic vegetables from the roasting pan, set pan on 2 burners over medium heat. Deglaze with apple juice, scraping up the brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Reduce by a third. Season with salt and pepper; whisk in butter to smooth out.
- Cut the twine and carve the roast. Serve family style on a platter with broccoli rabe, sausage, and roasted peaches. Drizzle sauce over meat before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C/gas 7).
- Score the skin of the pork through the fat, the incisions should be about 1 centimeter apart. Turn over. Make a pocket for the stuffing by cutting an incision at an angle, about 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) deep in the center of the streaky part of the loin, working away from the eye meat. Starting slightly in from the side of the meat, slowly slice along the loin not quite to the end, this will ensure your stuffing won't fall out.
- Chop half the thyme with 1 clove of garlic and scrunch together with the butter, 1 tin of peaches, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Push the butter into the pocket and pat back into shape. Lay the pancetta, bacon or Parma ham over the pork, leaving the skin side uncovered, and tie up firmly with 3 to 4 pieces of string.
- Place skin-side up in a roasting tray with the remaining peaches, the garlic cloves, thyme, and half of the white wine. Roast for around 1 hour until the skin is crisp and golden.
- When ready, remove the pork and peaches to a plate and leave to rest for 15 minutes whilst you finish the sauce. To do this, remove most of the fat from the roasting tray, then place the tray over a high heat. Squash the cooked garlic and add 1 tablespoon of flour. Stir and add the rest of the wine with a glass of water or stock. Simmer and leave to reduce for a few minutes. Strain and add any extra juices from the rested pork. Check the seasoning and consistency and serve drizzled over the sliced pork.

BRINED PORK ROAST
Brining is a technique that is makes the roast more juicy, by making possible the accumulation of juices within the meat during cooking. The proportion of salt to water must be 1/3 to 1/2 cup per each 2 quarts of liquid (or 2/3 to 1 cup of salt per gallon), in order for this transformation to occur. The sugar balances the flavors; the herbs and spices have only a very subtle impact on the flavor of the finished dish. *Cooking time for roast is not included as this is determined by the size of the roast!

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- Cool to room temperature.
- Immerse pork roast of your choice in the cooled brine mixture, and refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight (up to 24 hours) turning occasionally if necessary for even brining.
- Remove roast from brine, rinse, and pat dry with paper towels, and roast (on a rack or grill pan) according to your favorite recipe until a thermometer, inserted in the center of the roast, reads 155 degrees.
- Allow the roast to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
- (Roast may be coated with mustard, breadcrumbs or glaze of your choice before or during roasting, if desired.) NOTE: Smaller cuts of pork, such as pork tenderloins, may also be brined in this way- but should be immersed in the brine solution for proportionately less time, to avoid over-salting.
Tips:
- To enhance flavor and moisture, brine the pork shoulder in a mixture of water, salt, and any desired seasonings or spices for at least 12 hours or overnight.
- Sear the pork shoulder in a hot skillet before roasting to create a flavorful crust.
- Use a Dutch oven or roasting pan with a lid to create a moist cooking environment for the pork shoulder.
- Add a flavorful liquid, such as broth, stock, or wine, to the bottom of the pan to prevent the pork from drying out.
- Roast the pork shoulder at a low temperature (300°F or 150°C) for several hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F or 95°C.
- Remove the pork shoulder from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before shredding or slicing.
- Serve the pork shoulder with roasted peaches, mashed potatoes, green beans, or any other desired sides.
