How to Make Apple Cider Marinated Rack Of Pork Roast
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place the rack of pork (approximately 3-4 pounds) in a large resealable gallon bag.
- Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even marinating.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Lightly spray a medium roasting pan and a wire rack with nonstick cooking spray. Place the rack in the pan.
- Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
- Place the pork rack on the prepared wire rack in the roasting pan.
- Roast for 15 minutes per pound, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat; the pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from oven and let rest on a carving board for 10 minutes.
- While the pork rests, place the roasting pan on a stove burner over medium heat. Pour in the reserved marinade.
- Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Heat until the marinade and pan juices are hot and slightly thickened.
- Slice the roast between the rib bones and serve, drizzling the pan juices over the chops.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
