Pork loin crown with royal icing and gravy

Ingredients:

• 1 (3 – 3.5 kg) crown of pork ribs with loin
• 2 tbsp. grill seasonings
• 2.5 cups chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 3/4 cup Canadian whiskey (recommended: Crown Royal)
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 2 tsp. chopped ginger
• 1/3 tbsp. apple jam
• 1 bunch fresh parsley, for garnish

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 160°C.
   
   Rub the pork loin crown with grill seasoning. Place it in the roasting pan, rib-side up. Roast, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes per pound of meat, approximately 2.5 to 3.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 155°F (65°C).
2. Baste the meat with the juices and fat every 20 minutes for the first 2 hours. Brush the meat with royal icing during the last hour of cooking. Wrap the ends of the bones in foil if they begin to burn too quickly.
3. While the crown is cooking, prepare the royal icing.In a saucepan, combine 1 cup chicken broth, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup whiskey, garlic, ginger, and applesauce over medium-medium heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by a third, 12 to 15 minutes. Brush the glaze over the crown every 15 minutes during the last hour of cooking.
4. Remove the crown from the oven, transfer it to a serving platter, and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley.
   
   Place the roasting pan over medium heat and pour in 1/2 cup of the remaining whiskey, scraping up any bits with a wooden spoon. Add the remaining royal icing and 1.5 cups of the remaining chicken broth, and simmer until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half.
   
   Pour the gravy into a gravy boat and serve with the pork loin crown.
