Pork Prime Rib Roast Recipe

Pork Five-Bone Rib Roast

Makes 5 servings

1 (5-pound) Fantasma's Finest Pork Five-Bone Rib Roast

Rub:

1/2 tablespoon herb-seasoned salt

2 teaspoons black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

A sprinkling of rubbed sage

Glaze:

1/2 cup Fantasma's Finest Apple Butter, Pistachio Pumpkin Butter or Bourbon Pecan Butter (retail store only)

2 teaspoons fresh thyme

1 tablespoon pork drippings

Garnish:

Chopped parsley

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Place the roast on a rack over a sheet pan.

To french the ribs(optional): Place roast on a cutting board fat side up. Use a boning knife, cut across the bones 2 to 3 inches from the end. Pull away the fat slab and continue to expose the bones by cutting a square tab in between each bone. Using the knife, remove any remaining meat scraps and sinew from each rib bone.

Place roast on the rack, fat side down, and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until an internal thermometer inserted in the center reads 135° F. During the last 15 minutes, paint fruit butter glaze across the pork roast. Remove the roast from the oven and allow to rest 20 minutes before serving. Sprinkle the roast with parsley and slice. Serve roast with additional glaze.
