Roast pork with crackling

RECIPE FOR ROASTING PANS
TIME: 1 hour and 45 minutes
SERVING SIZE: 4-6

Preheat your oven to 400F. Dry pork roast as much as possible.
Using a sharp knife, cut halfway through the fat layer (but not the meat) in horizontal lines 1/2" apart. Then make vertical lines 1/2" apart, making a cross-hatch pattern.
Be careful when scoring the skin, you need to cut deep enough through the skin and down into the fat layer without cutting into the meat.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, cloves, mustard seeds, and crumbled bay leaves.
Rub the mixture into the pork roast, making sure to work it into the fat layer.
Place in a roasting pan and roast for about 30 minutes or until top is crackling and golden brown.
Reduce heat to 350°F and carefully pour the water into the pan.
Cook another hour, or until meat reaches 160°F.
Take the roast out of the oven and let it rest for about 15 min. before cutting and serving it.
