Crown Roast Of Pork Recipe

Wonderful!!! Used a rack inside roasting pan which worked well. I thought it Coulda used more rub for the roast when i was preparing it but i followed the direction and with the sauce it was just right. The stuffing was amazing!! It all went well with a nice glass of pinto griggio. I will make this once a year for sure. Thanks for the recipe.

I'm going to ask this exact question again that someone else asked and didn't get an answer. The recipe reads confusing: The recipe implies that the Crown Roast sits directly in the roasting pan, vs. on a roasting rack (i.e with a turkey). Can someone confirm that this is the case? Thanks so much!

Looking forward to making this for Xmas. Question - the recipe implies that the Crown Roast sits directly in the roasting pan, vs. on a roasting rack (i.e with a turkey). Can someone confirm that this is the case? Thanks so much!

I have a culinary degree and very high cooking standards. I made this for Christmas dinner last year and will be making it again this year. Goodbye Prime Rib. This has you beat with no comparison.

Made this for Christmas dinner, it was fabulous!

This recipe was our Thanksgiving centerpiece, completely prepared by 25 year old daughter Lila and her beau David. It was absolutely stunning, and I have high standards. The stuffing in particular was a great hit -- she did use my homemade concentrated chicken stock in place of water for extra flavor boost. Dramatic presentation, everyone called for second helpings. Served with a secret recipe sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, glazed brussel sprouts and a big salad.

After reading the reviews, I used chicken stock instead of water in the roasting pan. I doubled the stuffing, and I'm glad I did, because it disappeared fast. Served the roast with creamed spinach and bacon, glazed carrots, and green beans. I actually used the reserved cup of onions and the roast pan juice to dress up the green beans, instead of making the sauce. This recipe is definitely a keeper. There's nothing like serving a delicious supper and seeing your guests truly enjoying themselves and the food.

This has become a family Christmas dinner favorite. I made it last year and it was so extraordinary, I have another one in the oven right now for our belated celebration. I have followed the recipe exactly both times as we are so happy with it. Next time, I shall add prunes to the stuffing. Great idea. We accompany this with roasted green beans ( in olive oil), roasted brussel sprouts and butternut squash. Also made some home made applesauce with currants. Really a classic. I plan on making this every year.

This was absolutely delicious. We made this for Christmas dinner, and everyone loved it. My husband was concerned with making the stuffing in advance with raw pork, so we cooked the ground pork before adding to the bread crumb mixture. I think the stuffing in the separate casserole would have been moister and more flavorful had we not done that, but it was still very good. It looked very dry and crumbly, so I dotted some butter over the top before baking. The roast came out juicy and tender, and the sauce was very tasty. I used two Demi loaves; one Rosemary and one sourdough.

I made this crown roast for immediate family on Christmas Eve 2011. Fabulous. Stuffing is the best...made with homemade rosemary focaccia. Next time I would rub the roast with more sage & marjoram & less salt.

This was Christmas dinner for 12 people. I ordered a 12lb.(19 rib)roast which took just under 3 hrs.There was plenty left over.I followed the recipe exactly & it was delicious and beautiful. The sauce was fantastic & the stuffing was wonderful.One of my guests,a real "foodie" said it was the best stuffing he's ever had.I served it with mashed potatoes & green beans almondine.Great meal, try you won't be disapponted!

This recipe was a smash hit for Christmas Eve dinner! The pork came out juicy and delicious & everyone raved about how good it was. The hubs and I made a few additions, which we'd highly recommend: -Added chopped prunes and a 1/2 cup of unfiltered apple juice to the stuffing. The original stuffing reminded us a little too much of a turkey stuffing, so we opted to add a touch of sweetness to compliment the pork. SO tasty! Also, instead of just putting water in the bottom of the roasting pan, we used a mixture of water and unfiltered apple juice. This made for the most delicious gravy imaginable! It was truly to-die-for on top of the pork. Also used flour to thicken the gravy instead of cornstarch (which tends to be a little gooey for our taste). The presentation of this roast is so much fun, too. It's a real show stopper. After my husband cut the chops, he arranged them back in their original crown shape so they could be served at the table in all their glory... HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Very nice recipe. First time crown roast for me. I recommend simple brining for 12-24 hrs and definitely allow the cooked roast to rest. My roast was 14 lbs and even with central stuffing, roast did not take 2.5 hours, so make sure to use dig thermometer. Highly recommended use of Cranberry Horseradish + Celeriac/Apple Puree. Delicious. Guests demolished plates. Gravy was good - but there were not many drippings - so plan ahead if you think guests may want more sauce.

A truly exceptional Thanksgiving main course! Made exactly as described (roast, stuffing, gravy), except for a longer cooking time at increasingly lower oven temperatures owing to our guests calling several times delaying their arrivals. I don't know exactly what part the quality of the butcher counts for, but we went to the best, which didn't increase the price much. Magnificent.

Made 7lb crown roast of pork for 6 people, have plenty of leftover. Guests love it! I used focaccia according to one reviewer and cubed instead of breadcrumb, the stuffing is delicious! Pulled the roast out at 150F and rest for 30 min. (after had been cooking for 2.30 hours! - I thought smaller roast will take less time but it doesn't) The sauce is also good (taste a bit of white wine in there) Definitely will make it again!
