Instructions
- Gather all ingredients before starting recipe.
- Score the skin of the roast diagonally, in both directions to form a diamond pattern.

- Add a small quantity of water to the roasting pan, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan but no more than a quarter of an inch deep in the pan. Set on the medium rack and roast for 3 hours or until the top of the roast is a golden brown and the meat can be pierced with a fork.
- Allow the roast to rest for a few minutes, then slice and don't forget to include the cracklin'! Serve with mashed potatoes and apple slaw.
