I made this dish by request for one of our younger sons. He loves oranges and was served with a roasted orange slice as well. I love the fragrance of the broth. I recommend saving the drippings if you enjoy Aspic.

How To Make orange roasted pork with harvest vegetables

  • Step 1
    In a cast iron skillet, place meat fat side down. Pour wine over it.
  • Step 2
    Massage in butter. Drip over molasses.
  • Step 3
    Coat with brown sugar, then add spices and herb.
  • Step 4
    Place orange slices strategically on roast.
  • Step 5
    In a mixing bowl, add all vegetables and celery salt. Toss until well mixed.
  • Step 6
    Pour vegetables around roast. Tightly seal with tin foil or place cover on roasting pan.
  • Step 7
    Cook at 250F for 5 hours. Periodically, inject roast with pan drippings (optionally). Now cooking time may vary by size of roast. When poked, broth should run clean, not bloody.
  • Step 8
    When this is achieved, remove foil. Raise temperature to 375F. Cook uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes or until golden.
  • Step 9
    Remove from oven. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
