Slow-roasted Honey Glazed Pork Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: soy sauce, granulated sugar, garlic, scallions, boneless, skin-on pork shoulder, asparagus, yukon potatoes, olive oil, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, dark brown sugar, honey

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup soy sauce, plus 2 tbsp, divided
¼ cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons garlic, chopped
¼ cup scallions, chopped
2 lb boneless, skin-on pork shoulder
1 bunch asparagus, halved
6 yukon potatoes, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt, to taste

1 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup honey

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) of the soy sauce with the sugar, garlic, and scallions, stirring until mixed.
  • Score the skin of the pork by slicing a crosshatch pattern through the skin down to the meat. This will help excess fat render out and allow more of the marinade to soak in.
  • Place the pork in the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 275ºF (140°C).
  • On a baking sheet, place the asparagus halves to the right and diced potatoes to the left. Toss the vegetables with the oil, salt, and pepper. Place the marinated pork in the middle of the baking sheet.
  • Bake 1 to 1 ½ hours, depending on the weight of the pork.
  • Raise the heat of the oven to 500ºF (260ºC).
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, and remaining soy sauce, stirring until smooth.
  • Spoon the honey glaze over the top of the pork, making sure to fill the cracks and crevices on top.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until sugar is dark brown and caramelized, and the top of the pork is crispy.
  • Remove the vegetables and pork from the tray, making sure to save all the juices.
  • Slice the pork into ½-inch (2 ½ cm) slices, and plate with the roasted vegetables. Spoon the reserved pan juices on top of the pork.
  • Enjoy!

SWEET GLAZED PORK ROAST



sweet glazed pork roast image

I really like pork that has a sweet taste, so one day when I was looking for something to make for diner, and came across some preserves that my mom had canned, a little light went on! Make some candied sweet potatoes, a green salad, and some warm, toasty french bread, and you've got a meal that would satisfy any sweet tooth.

Provided by Kellie2

Categories     Pork

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 -4 lbs whole boneless pork tenderloin
1 cup favorite preserves or 1 cup marmalade (I used 1/2C Peach, and 1/2C apricot)
1/4 cup apple juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, mix marmalade/preserves with apple juice.
  • Spray a (n) 9x13 pan with Pam, and coat the bottom of the pan with some of the glaze.
  • Place the tenderloin in the pan, and pour the rest of the glaze over the tenderloin.
  • Cover the pan loosely with foil, and cut several small slits in the foil to allow the steam to escape.
  • Bake for 30 minutes per pound (90 min total for a 3 pound roast), basting every 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil after the last basting, and cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
  • For well done pork, the thermometer should read 170 degrees.

Tips:

  • To ensure a crispy and flavorful glaze, pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels before applying the mixture.
  • For a more intense glaze, brush the pork shoulder with the glaze every 30 minutes during the last hour of cooking.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, insert a knife into the thickest part of the pork shoulder. If the juices run clear, the pork is cooked through.
  • Let the pork shoulder rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This light glazed pork roast recipe is a simple and delicious way to enjoy this classic dish. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the tender and juicy pork, makes this a perfect meal for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special gathering, this pork roast is sure to be a hit.
