allow to rest at least 15-20 minutes before carving

Every half hour or so, baste the ends of the roast with the drippings. Use your meat

thermometer about a half hour before the expected end of the roasting time. Make sure

to insert it in the thickest part of the meat, not touching the fat or bone. When the inter-

nal temperature reaches 115°, pull it out of the oven and cover with foil. Let the roast sit

for twenty to thirty minutes. It will continue to cook during this time, reaching a tem-

perature of about 120° to 125°. This resting period allows the juices and flavors to

permeate the roast.
