This is one of our favorite ways to cook pork roast. It's rubbed with an enticing yet simple combination of chopped garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. After the pork roasts for half an hour, brush it with the apricot jam-mustard sauce to put the taste really over the top. To complete the meal, we suggest serving the pork with roasted potatoes alongside. Here's how to do it while the pork is roasting: Toss 1 pound of halved fingerling potatoes with a little rosemary, salt, and pepper, and spray the potatoes with nonstick spray. Scatter in the roasting pan around the pork and roast until tender.

Stir together the jam and mustard in a small bowl and brush all over the pork. Continue to roast the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160ºF for medium, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Cut the roast into 12 slices. Yields 3 slices pork per serving.
