Brine
- You will want to brine your pork 24 to 48 hours prior to roasting.
- Add pork to your brine container and cover with water to determine the amount of water required to submerge to the pork. Sum the weight of the pork and the water. Using this weight calculate the amount of salt and sugar. Remove 1/3 of the weight of water and add that amount of apple cider and salt and sugar.
Cooking Pork
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove pork from brine, rinse and dry. Coat with butter and olive oil baste. Place in a roasting pan with fat side up. Cook at 450 degrees fro 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300 degrees and continue to cook for approximately 20 minutes per pound, until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees.
