    1 unit
  • salt
    1 cup
  • honey
    3/4 cup
  • cracked black peppercorns
    2 tbsp
  • apple cider vinegar
    brought to boiling
    2 cups
  • fresh thyme
    finely chopped
    10 sprigs

    2 pounds

    1 unit
  • all-purpose flour
    2 tbsp

Method

1
Combine salt, honey, vinegar, peppercorns, thyme, and ice. Pour into a gallon-size zip-top bag and add roast. Refrigerate 3-3/2 hours.
2
Drain roast and pat dry with paper towels. Coat roast liberally with olive oil.
3
Place on a roasting rack set in a large roasting pan. Insert a probe thermometer and bake in the center of a 425 degree F oven until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F.
4
Pour drippings from pan and reserve. Keep roast warm at 200 degrees F.
5
Skim fat from drippings and pour 2 tablespoons into a large saucepan. Heat over medium high heat. Add flour and cook, whisking continuously, until mixture turns blond in color.
6
Add skimmed drippings and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook until slightly thickened.
7
Reduce heat to low and cook until slightly thinner than desired consistency. If the gravy gets too thick, add some more chicken broth.
8
Slice pork as thick or as thin as you like, and drizzle with gravy.
