Pork Crown Roast with Royal Glaze and Gravy
- 2 tablespoons grill seasoning
- 1 (7 to 8-pound) pork crown roast
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
- 3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 cup Canadian whiskey, divided (recommended: Crown Royal)
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons chopped ginger
- 1/3 cup apple butter
- 1 bunch fresh parsley, for garnish
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the grill seasoning over the roast, making sure it is thoroughly seasoned.
- Place the crown roast into a roasting pan, bone ends up.
- Roast, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes per pound of meat, about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, or when the internal temperature is 150 degrees F. Make sure to baste with any pan drippings every 20 minutes for the first 2 hours.
- For the last hour of cooking, baste with the royal glaze.
- Wrap the bone ends with aluminum foil if they begin to brown too quickly.
- While the roast is cooking, whisk together 1 cup chicken broth, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup whiskey, garlic, ginger, and apple butter in a saucepan and place over medium-low heat.
- Let simmer until thick and reduced by a third, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Brush the glaze onto the roast every 15 minutes for the last hour of cooking.
- Remove the roast from the oven, transfer to a serving platter, and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish the platter with parsley.
- Place the roasting pan over medium heat and deglaze with the remaining 1/2 cup whiskey, scraping up the bits with a flat edged spoon.
- Add the remaining royal glaze, remaining 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, and let simmer until thickened and reduced by half.
- Pour into a gravy boat and serve with the roast.
