Ingredients

    2-3 pound boneless pork loin roast
    1/4 c honey
    2 T mustard (I like spicy mustard but dijon or regular work great too!)
    2T(more or less to taste) crushed black pepper corns
    dash of salt
    1/2 t thyme
    1 T parsley

    **sometimes I thinly slice garlic and then slip the slivers into tiny holes cut on the top of the roast--only do this if you are a garlic lover!**

Directions

Preheat oven to 325

1. Lightly grease a roasting pan and put roast in it.
2. In small dish combine honey and all other ingredients. Mix well.
3. Brush roast with about half of the mixture.
4. Bake for 1 hour
5. Brush on remaining mixture
6. Bake another 30-45 minutes until meat is 160.

Serves 8-10 people (3-4 oz of meat each).
This is great with potatoes and asparagus!

    Ok, I chose this as a last minute choice for dinner & I loved it. The other comment was right, way to much pepper. I used 1 T pepper & 1 T garlic powder (wrks better in rub) and used Italian seasoning for the herbs. Even my fussy 4 yr old loved it! - 10/17/07

    Great marinade for pork. Slightly sweet. Cooked on bbq was great. Substituted sesame seeds for parsley and marinaded for roughly 4 hrs. Thanks! - 6/8/09

    I used less pepper, added garlic and used my oven meat probe to cook. I think I'll try covering with foil next time. - 5/11/09

    What a great flavor combo! Suggestion: CROCKPOT this with potatoes, onions, & maybe carrots on the bottom, then brush the pork, put it in, and pour the rest of the seasonings over everything. Mmm! Ready for supper when we get home. Can't wait to try it! - 4/17/09

    I made this without the mustard. I added one finely chopped clove of garlic to the honey. Cooked the first hour covered in foil and uncovered for the remaining. I also put potatoes in the pan to cook with the pork. Really yummy! - 7/2/07

    I agree with a lot of the others, that there was just a bit too much pepper. I will add more honey and mustard and cut back on the pepper next time. Was pretty good though. - 8/8/12

    This was very good! I changed up the recipe a little, by adding a teaspoon of horseradish, and also a few capers, istead of peppercorns. My husband really liked this. Thanks for sharing!! We will be having this at least once a month. - 2/21/09

    O.K.
    This recipe was okay, but because of the time involved cooking it I probably wouldn't make it again. - 3/1/08

    We really enjoyed this! I actually thought the pepper amount was perfect. I used a jalapeno mustard. - 1/28/08

    Used less pepper (because of another comment). I would use more mustard, but we like hot mustard on pork. - 8/19/07

    Too much pepper... overpowering. It was okay, I have leftovers to eat, but I won't be fixing it again. Sorry. - 7/29/07

    I really liked this. I was a little afraid that it may be too sweet, but that was not the case. I would definately make it again! - 4/16/07
