• Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Season roast with salt and pepper. Place roast bone-side down in shallow roasting pan. Roast in 350°F. oven 1 hour.

 

Meanwhile, in small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook stirring often until onion wilts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in preserves, rum, and nutmeg; bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes.

 

Reserve ½ cup of the Glaze for basting pork; stir apricots and parsley into remaining Glaze to serve with roast.

 

Add 1 cup water to roasting pan. Brush some of the reserved Glaze over roast; roast basing occasionally with Glaze until internal temperature is 145°F., about 15 to 30 minutes.

 

Place roast on cutting board; cover and let stand 10 minutes before slicing between bones. Serve with warmed apricot mixture.
