In Moberly, Missouri, Andrea Schumann relies on honey, white wine and a little lemon juice for a low-carb entree that everyone enjoys. "The marinade has a light, flavorful taste that works well with any cut of pork," she promises.
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first six ingredients; add pork roast. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, turning several times.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Drain and discard marinade.
Place roast on a rack in a shallow foil-lined roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, 25 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the wine or broth, honey and brown sugar.
Brush half over the meat. Bake 15 minutes longer.
Brush with remaining honey mixture. Bake 10-20 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
