Garlic-Stuffed Pork Roast With Glaze - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (5 lb) boneless pork roast
whole garlic clove (use as many as desired)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt or 1/2 teaspoon white salt
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
GLAZE
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
6 tablespoons vinegar
6 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Preparation

Make small slits all over in the roast then stuff whole or half garlic cloves into each slit.
Rub the roast with olive oil.
In a small bowl combine the sage with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper; rub the roast all over with the spice mixture.
Place the roast in a roasting pan, then let sit out on the counter for a few hours.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Set oven rack to middle position.
Roast for about 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (the temperature will rise more after removing from the oven).
For the glaze: while the roast is cooking in a small saucepan combine the sugar with cornstarch, vinegar, water and soy sauce; bring to a simmer over medium heat stirring occasionally.
Cook until bubbly and thickened.
Brush the roast 3-4 times during cooking.
The last 30 minutes of cooking pour the remaining glaze over the roast.
Allow the roast to sit for about 10 minutes before slicing.
