01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Give the pork roast a good rinse and pat it dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, make several deep slits all over the roast, varying the depth a bit. Push pieces of garlic into each slit to really infuse the flavor.

Step 2
In a small bowl, stir together the water, brown sugar, and maraschino cherries along with their juice. Place the pork roast inside an oven bag and pour the cherry mixture over it. Seal the bag tightly and set it in a roasting pan.

Step 3
Pop it in the oven and let it cook for about 3 hours, or until a meat thermometer reads 145°F (63°C) when inserted. Once it’s done, carefully remove the roast from the bag and transfer it to a serving plate. Spoon some of the cooking juices over the top, then let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

How to serve
Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad to balance the richness. Mashed potatoes or creamy polenta also pair wonderfully. A tangy apple sauce or mustard on the side adds a nice contrast.
Storage & leftovers
Allow the roast to cool completely before storing. Wrap it tightly in foil or place in an airtight container. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to maintain juiciness.
