1.Maple Mustard Pork Roast

1 tbsp (15 mL)	vegetable oil

1/3 cup (75 mL)	Prepared Dijon Mustard

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F (200° C).
Rub pork roast with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in shallow roasting pan. Stir together maple syrup and mustard; pour over roast. Pour 1 cup (250 mL) water into pan.
Roast uncovered in centre of oven for 20 to 25 minutes per lb/ 500 g or until meat thermometer inserted in centre reads 160° F (71° C), basting every 20 minutes with pan juices. Add more water to pan as needed to keep pan drippings from burning.
