  • IMPORTANT: after 10 minutes, reduce oven temp to 375 degrees.
  • Remove from oven.
  • After you are done basting the pork, it's time to cook the glaze.

To make the glaze:

  • In a small saucepan on medium heat, add remaining marinade mix and honey.

  • Brush cooked glaze on pork and serve.
  • Let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
