Servings: persons

1 cup (225 ml) finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 good sized sprigs of parsley, finely chopped
6 sprigs dried marjoram
1 tbsp (15 ml) dry marjoram
pinch of sage
1/4 tsp (1 ml) dry mustard
1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground cloves
1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
1/2 tsp (2 ml) fresh ground pepper
1 tbsp (15 ml) cider vinegar
1 tbsp (15 ml) sugar, optional
1 pork roast, your choice

1
Take your pork roast, (or any other meat to be roasted) and wipe it off with a damp cloth and rub it with salt to taste, pork usually is nicer with more salting.
2
Prepare and mix well all the ingredients.
3
Rub the roast thoroughly with this mixture, working on a large piece of aluminum foil, (or waxed paper or plastic wrap will work too).
4
Then, wrap the roast in the aluminum foil tightly, then wrap in a piece of heavy paper, like a grocery sack, butcher's or freezer paper and tie well.
5
Allow to stand in the refrigerator for a full 2 to 3 days.
6
Remove from the wrappings and roast as usual for the amount of lbs.
7
(kg) of meat you have.
8
Make a double batch of marinade for larger hunks of meat such as a turkey, a full pork loin, or a full leg of lamb.
9
Hint: I add a tbsp of sugar to this recipe to give the meats more tenderizing, more flavor, and a nicer crust to the meats while roasting to lock in the juices.
