• Preheat a grill to high. Pat the pork dry and season with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill, then grill the pork, turning, until marked, about 10 minutes.

Transfer 1/3 cup of the liquid to a small bowl and stir in the chopped rosemary; brush onto the pork and continue grilling until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, 10 to 15 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.

PORK WITH PEACHES

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 WITH ROASTED PEACHES

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 butcher’s twine, securing the meat a bit more snugly to the bone, which will help it hold it’s 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.

BRINED PORK 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.

BRINED AND STUFFED PORK LOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Mix water, salt, and brown sugar in a saucepan, stirring to dissolve salt and sugar. Add bay leaves, rosemary, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and thyme; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer brine for 5 minutes. Let brine cool to room temperature.
• Place pork roast into a large nonreactive bowl, pour brine over pork, and cover; marinate in refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir apple and shallots into hot oil until shallots are soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool to room temperature, and mix spinach, walnuts, egg, and goat cheese into apple mixture. Season stuffing with salt and black pepper.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Remove pork from brine and discard used brine. Cut roast lengthwise down the center to within about 1 1/2 inches of the bottom and open the roast like a book. Spoon apple stuffing onto one side of meat and fold the other half over the stuffing. Tie the roast closed in 4 or 5 places with kitchen twine. Set roast on a rack placed into a roasting pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing reads 145 to 150 degrees F (63 degrees C to 65 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
