At the end of the 30 minutes, baste pork with the reserved marinade.

Roast for another 20-30 minutes or until your meat thermometer registers 160 degrees F. Brush pork with additional honey and return it to the oven for 5 minutes.

Remove from the oven, cover loosely with aluminum foil and allow pork to rest for 10 minutes and then slice it against the grain (perpendicular to the meat fibers).
