Instructions

Roast of Pork
About 1 hour before roasting, remove the crown roast of pork from the refrigerator and pat it dry. Place it on a large, rimmed baking sheet lined with foil, and season the exterior generously with salt and pepper. Wrap each rib bone with a small piece of foil to prevent them from burning. Set the roast aside to come to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 250°F with a rack positioned in the bottom third. Place the roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 140°F on an instant read thermometer when inserted in several places, 2 to 2 1/4 hours.
Meanwhile, make the pear glaze. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the pears and brown sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and browned, about 5 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid scorching. Add the cider and vinegar and cook, stirring often, until the pears are mushy and the juices thicken, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the rosemary and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a blender, or use an immersion blender, and process to a thick purée. Set aside to cool. (The glaze can be made up to 5 days ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator.)
When the roast is cooked to the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest while you increase the oven temperature to 500˚F. (The roast can be left at room temperature for up to 1 hour before finishing.)
Brush the roast with the glaze in a thick layer, coating the outside and inner ring. Return the roast to the oven and cook until browned and nicely lacquered with the glaze, about 10 minutes. Allow the roast to rest for 15 to 20 minutes. At this point, some of the Wild Rice Pear Dressing can be stuffed inside the center of the roast for presentation at the table, or it can be served on the side.
To carve the roast, simply cut between each rib and serve with the dressing.
