This recipe is one of my favorite recipes that I continue to make for many occasions. The spice rub combined with the maple mustard sauce takes this recipe over the top. I usually serve this with a wild rice casserole and a green vegetable. This is definitely a meal to serve that is perfect for entertaining or a week night family dinner. It requires minimum work and the results taste like you have been in the kitchen for hours. This is a recipe that when the meal in over, your guests will be asking for the recipe. If you have any leftover pork you can make a delicious sandwich the next day. Mix any remaining sauce with mayonnaise for a delicious sandwich spread, top pork with sauce and arugula for a great sandwich.

Great recipe! I’m usually not a pork person because it’s too dry and not very flavorful when I cook it. For this recipe I used a small pork roast and it turned out very moist and tasty! The roast had a little kick with the red pepper flakes. Again, very easy and all the ingredients were in my pantry. This will be a recipe I’ll make over and over again!
