How to Make Ginger Applesauce Pork Leg Roast
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large bowl, combine applesauce, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Place pork leg roast in a roasting pan. Spread the applesauce mixture evenly over the entire surface of the roast.
- Marinate the pork roast in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight for even more flavor).
- Remove the pork roast from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting to allow it to come to room temperature.
- Roast the pork leg for approximately 200-250 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C). Baste with pan juices every 30 minutes.
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
- Carve the pork thinly against the grain and serve immediately with boiled, buttered, parsley potatoes, and glazed carrots and celery.
