Ingredients
- 3 to 5 pounds roasting pork
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 quart water
Directions
Season pork with ginger, onions, salt, pepper, and lemon juice in a large deep saucepan. Add water and boil slowly for 30 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes and remove meat, reserving stock for basting. Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir tomato sauce into stock and empty it into a large baking dish. Place this under the rack at the center of oven. Transfer roast onto the rack so that juices from the meat can drip into the dish underneath. Continue baking at 350°F., allowing 1 hour per pound. Baste constantly with sea soned stock. Cook until meat is completely done (when no juice comes out when meat is prickled). Gravy underneath meat should be sizzling by this time (2 /2 hours).
