INGREDIENTS

• 2 lbs. boneless pork roast 
• ⅓ cup apple juice concentrate
• 2 tbsp Apple Balsamic Star
• 1 tbsp honey 
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 
• 1 tsp soy sauce 
• ½ tsp dried marjoram
• pepper to taste
• ¼ tsp paprika 
• 3 apples, cored and wedged 
• 1 tbsp cornstarch

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Combine first 8 ingredients in a bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 20 minutes. 
2. Place the roast in a roasting pan and brush the mixture over the pork. Roast 45 minutes at 375°, basting occasionally with the apple juice mixture. 
3. Add apple wedges to the roasting pan and continue to roast 30-45 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 160°F.
4. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and while the roast rests, strain juices into a saucepan. 
5. Add enough water to equal 1 cup. Make a cornstarch slurry with 1 tbsp of water. Add to saucepan and stir over high heat until thickened and bubbly. Slice the roast and serve with apples and sauce.
