  Set the pork on a flat rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cover the end of each bone with a small piece of foil.

  • 1  (12 to 14 ribs) kurobuta pork crown roast

  For the Marinade: Bring the apple cider to a boil over high heat and reduce by half. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vinegar, mustard, brown sugar, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the oil.

  Ingredients

  • 1 Cup apple juice or cider

  • 2 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  Using a pastry brush, apply the marinade to the roast, coating all surfaces. Cover it with plastic wrap and allow it to sit until the meat comes to room temperature, about 60 minutes. You can also brush the marinade on the roast and return it, covered, to the refrigerator until ready to cook.
