Pork Roast

 *Guest post from Turtle's Mom*

Here's a recipe for a really tasty pork roast.  This is a simple recipe that you can make on a busy day, because it cooks slowly in the oven.  You can make the roast into pulled pork after it's cooked, or serve it in a few different ways.

Ingredients:

3 lb. pork roast
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons brown sugar

BBQ Sauce Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon honey
Splash of orange juice or apple juice

Instructions:

In a Dutch oven, put the pork roast, the water, and sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the roast. Cover with a lid and cook at 350 degrees for about two hours.  Then, mix up your barbecue sauce and take the roast out just long enough to drizzle on the sauce.  Put it back in the oven for about another hour (covered.)  When you take it out of the oven, and your pork is tender enough that you can pull the meat apart with a fork, it's done!

If you have extra liquid in the pan, you can spoon it out.  Then, shred the pork.  You can serve on a bun (like we did) or you could eat it as a main dish.  A great serving idea is to eat the pork on a bun with coleslaw!

Here's the finished product!  Doesn't that look great?
