How To Make pork roast with flavor pockets

3Place 1/2 tsp of flavor mixture in each pocket with fingers and close pocket with fingers. Rub any remaining mixture over roast.
-
4Roast meat, uncovered, in slow to moderate oven (325-350 degrees) allowing 30-35 Minutes per pound or until meat thermometer indicates internal temperature of 170 degrees.
