Roast Pork with 7-Up Gravy
12 ounce can of 7-Up or ginger ale
11/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced green pepper
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 center-cut pork roast, about 4 pounds
Gravy:
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons flour
In a heavy cooking bag or 9-inch square glass baking dish, combine the 7-Up, soy sauce, green pepper,
onion, lemon juice, sugar and garlic. Add the roast and seal the bag (if using). Refrigerate overnight,
turning the roast three or four times if possible.
Preheat the oven to 325 F if using the cooking bag. Place in a baking dish or a roaster. Cut a 1/2-inch
slice in the top side of the cooking bag. If using a baking dish, place the roast and marinade in the dish
and complete the same process as if using cooking bag. Bake for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.
When roast is done, pour the juices from the roast into a 1-quart saucepan. In a small bowl, stir
together the flour and water. Stir into the pan with the juices. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Serve the gravy over ham and on mashed potatoes.
