Rack of Free-Range Pork Glazed with Honey Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 rack of free-range pork, about 1-2 lbs
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375F.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. This will be your glaze.
3. Place the rack of pork on a rimmed baking sheet and brush the glaze all over it until it’s evenly coated. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the glaze for later.
4. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145F.
5. Halfway through cooking, brush the reserved glaze over the pork again to create a thick, glossy coating.
6. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into individual chops.
7. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
