4 lb boneless pork roast
4 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp honey
1 cup chicken broth
3 tbsp vinegar
1/4 cup water
Directions
Combine sugar, salt, honey, soy sauce and broth, pour over roast and
let marinate for at least one hour, turning occasionally. Place roast
in shallow pan, pour sauce over and bake at 350 degress for 2 1/2 to
3 hours (170 on meat thermometer). Baste as often as you can with a
mixture of the vinegar and water to prevent sugar from sorching, and

The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into history, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as basil, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from the East, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused a torrent in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
