  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   7       lb           Pork crown roast
     1/2   ts           Salt
     1/4   ts           Pepper

  Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Season meat with salt &
  pepper. Place roast in large roasting pan, rib bones
  up. Cover rib bones with foil to prevent excess
  browning. Insert meat thermometer so bulb reaches
  center of roast not touching fat or bone. Roast at 325
  degrees F for 2 hours.
  
  Prepare Savory Rice Stuffing (recipe to follow). Fill
  center of roast with stuffing; continue roasting 1
  1/2-2 hours or longer until meat is well done and
  thermometer register 170 to 180 degrees F.
  Remove foil from rib tips. Place roast on serving
  plate or carving board. Garnish with Lady Apple Fruit
  Wreath (see previous recipe).
  
  TIP: For ease in carving, insert fork in top of roast;
  make slices by cutting close along sides of rib bones.
