- 3. Place baking dish in preheated oven and let roast for 30 minutes. Baste with pan juices every 15 to 20 minutes, adding more cider if needed.
- 4. After the initial 30 minutes roasting time, reduce oven temperature to 400°F and continue roasting (and basting every 15 to 20 minutes) for 70 to 90 minutes longer. (Total roasting time should be about 20 to 25 minutes per pound, plus 20 minutes more.)
