| Rub
the loin with a generous amount of salt and pepper which has been
thoroughly mixed (twice as much salt as pepper). Place in roasting pan
in a 450-degree preheated oven, reduce immediately to 350 degrees and
roast 30 to 35 minutes per pound until nicely browned (45 minutes to 1
hour). Then add 1 cup boiling water and continue baking. Make sure
every part of the roast is basted often. During the last half hour no
basting is required. When cooking is completed place on platter and
allow to rest 10 minutes before carving. |
