Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup ginger marmalade, or ginger sauce

  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, or 1 tsp bottled minced ginger

  • 1 tbsp vegetable or sesame oil

  • 1 to 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme leaves, or 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves

  • 1.25 to 1.5 kg rack of pork

  • 1 cup hot water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F (160C). In a small bowl, stir marmalade with ginger, oil and 1 tablespoon (15 mL) fresh thyme. Add 2 tablespoons (30 mL) thyme if you really like the herb. Mix well. Place pork, bone-side down, in a shallow-sided pan just large enough to fit roast snugly. Using a spoon, spread ginger mixture over top and sides of pork. Pour water into bottom of dish.

  • Roast, uncovered, in centre of 325F (160C) oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centre of roast reaches 150F (65C). A 2-1/2-lb (1.25-kg) roast will take about 1-1/2 hours or 35 minutes per pound (500 g). Remove roast to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before carving.
