1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh garlic
1/2 tablespoon Tabasco sauce

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Stir together salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin and cinnamon.
3

This was just about the best pork roast we've ever had. The texture and juiciness were amazing, nothing like we've ever had in a pork roast before. However, we were not very fond of the flavors. I thought the brown sugar was good; but the cinnamon and tabasco sauce just didn't work too well for me. I will most likely be trying this concept again but maybe with slightly different seasonings. Thank you for bringing me one step closer to the PERFECT pork roast recipe! UPDATE: I made this tonight, substituting the spice list from Herbed Pork Tenderloin, and it was wonderful!

Yum! We loved the seared method to hold the juices in. It worked really well. The flavor was very good also, but as with with reviewer, we felt it was a bit sweet. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This roast went great with Mexican Bean Hotpot for dinner last night! I really liked the cinnamon addition in this one with the other Mexican spices and the sweetness from the brown sugar. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us Weekend Cooker! Made for Zaar Stars Tag Game 4/09 Linda
