Crown Roast Of Pork With Mushroom Dressing
- 1 pork loin crown roast (10 to 12 ribs, about 6 to 8 pounds)
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 3 cups cubed day-old bread
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/3 cup apricot preserves
- 1 cup whole fresh cranberries, optional
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Place roast, rib ends up, in a shallow roasting pan; sprinkle with seasoned salt. Cover rib ends with foil. Bake, uncovered, for 1-1/4 hours.
- Meanwhile, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and celery; saute until tender. Stir in bread cubes, salt and pepper. Spoon around roast. Brush sides of roast with preserves. Bake until a thermometer inserted into meat between ribs reads 145u0b0, 45-60 minutes. Remove foil; let meat stand 10 minutes before slicing.
- If desired, thread cranberries on a 20-in. string or thread. Transfer roast to a serving platter. Loop cranberry string in and out of rib ends. Slice between ribs to serve.
