Zippy Holiday Pork Roast

In a medium saucepan, combine thyme, allspice, black pepper, onion powder, chili pepper, and salt. Stir in stock or broth. Bring to boiling. Cool.

Place pork roast in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Pour cooled marinade over meat and close bag. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours before roasting or grilling.

Drain pork, discarding marinade. Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer. Roast in a 325 degree F oven for about 1-3/4 hours or until thermometer registers 155 degree F. Or, in a grill with a cover, arrange preheated coals around a drip pan. Test for medium-low heat* where the meat will cook. Place meat on a rack in a roasting pan on the grill rack. Cover and grill 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until thermometer registers 155 degree F.

Cover the meat with foil. Let it stand for 15 minutes before carving (the meats temperature will rise 5 degree F while it stands).
