Thyme/Mustard Pork Roast image

This recipe has been in my files for years, & I fall back on it everytime I want to get back to a basic pork roast! I usually serve it with a homemade apple sauce or a cranberry sauce, but the last time around I made Zaar chef JanetC-KY's Recipe #168092 for a nice-tasting raisin sauce!

2 teaspoons celery seeds
1 teaspoon garlic powder
5 lbs boneless pork loin roast
