6 to 8 pound pork crown roast (about 20 ribs)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Your choice of bread stuffing
Preparation Instructions:
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Season meat with salt and pepper. Place meat bone ends up in open shallow roasting pan; wrap bone ends in aluminium foil to prevent excessive browning. To hold shape of roast, place a small oven proof bowl or cup in crown.
Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of meat and does not rest on fat or bone. Do not add water. Do not cover. Roast 30 to 35 minutes per pound or until meat thermometer registers 170 degrees.
One hour before meat is done, remove bowl from center of crown; fill crown with your choice of bread stuffing. (Use about 8 cups stuffing for 8 pound crown.) Cover just the stuffing with aluminum foil during first 30 minutes.
When roast is done, remove foil from bone ends and replace with crab apples or paper frills. Optional: garnish stuffing with sliced water chestnuts. To carve, remove stuffing to serving bowl; cut between ribs. 12 servings.
