Steamship Picnic with Whiskey-Cola Glaze

• Prep Time: 3 hours
• Serves:

Ingredients

• 1 Farmland® ALL NATURAL* Steamship Picnic Roast
• 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
• whole cloves
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 3 cups cola drink
• 3/4 cup whiskey
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 300°F. Score entire picnic roast in diamond pattern with 1/2-inch-deep slices.
2. Combine Creole seasoning, black pepper and cayenne. Rub evenly all over picnic. Insert 1 whole clove into pork where score lines intersect. Rub brown sugar evenly over entire roast, pressing into scored lines to stick. Place picnic roast, fat-side-up, on wire rack in 2-inch-deep roasting pan.
3. Combine cola and whiskey; pour 2 cups into bottom of roasting pan. Bake picnic roast for 1 hour at 300°F.
4. Continue baking, basting every 15 minutes with remaining cola-whiskey mixture until internal temperature reaches 155°F., approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Cover and let stand 30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
5. To make sauce, while picnic roast is resting, combine pan juices and any remaining cola-whiskey mixture in saucepan. Stir together cornstarch and water; whisk into drippings. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir continuously until desired thickness. Pour through strainer and serve over sliced pork.
