Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 lbs pork roast, with thick layer of fat (neck or shoulder works well)
1 tablespoon coarse salt or 1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cloves (you may substitute allspice or fennel, according to taste)
1 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
5 bay leaves, crumbled into small pieces
3 cups boiling water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F Dry pork roast as much as possible with a paper towel.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut halfway through the fat layer (but not the meat) in horizontal lines 1/2" apart. Then make vertical lines 1/2" apart, making a cross-hatch pattern.
  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, cloves, mustard seeds, and crumbled bay leaves. Rub the mixture into the pork roast, making sure to work it into the fat layer.
  • Place in a deep roasting pan and roast for about 30 minutes or until top is crackling and golden brown. Reduce heat to 350°F and carefully pour the water into the pan.
  • Cook another hour, or until meat reaches 160°F.
  • Remove crackling from roast, cut roast into slices, and serve crackling with the roast.

DANISH ROAST PORK



Danish Roast Pork image

We had this roast every Christmas eve (after the Danish Christmas Rice Porridge) and always served with Red Cabbage & Apples. However, if we had apples in the cabbage, Mum omitted them with the pork. Serve with dark sweet mustard.
