RIO GRANDE PORK ROAST 
1 (3 lb.) pork loin, boneless
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 c. apple jelly
1/2 c. purchased barbecue sauce (for sauce)
1/2 tsp. chili powder

Rub surfaces of roast well with salt, garlic and chili powder. Place in shallow baking pan. Roast at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Combine remaining ingredients in small saucepan, simmer for 2 minutes. Pour sauce over roast, continue roasting, basting occasionally, until meat thermometer registers 155 to 160 degrees, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove roast from pan. Rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove pan drippings to saucepan. Add enough water to make 1 cup. Bring to boil. Carve roast and serve with sauce. Makes 12 servings. I have used other boneless kinds of pork roast with this recipe.
